Tips for Making the BEST Pumpkin Dip
This is a really easy pumpkin cream cheese dip recipe, but you do need to keep in mind a few basic tips:
- Chill the dip before serving, it allows the dip to thicken and flavors to blend beautifully.
- Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature to start so that you don’t end up with chunks of just cream cheese in the dip. It will whip up smooth and combine better at room temperature.
- Use the exact ingredients listed for the best results!
What to Serve with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
Wondering what you should dip into your pumpkin fluff dip? This fall dip is best served with fresh fruit (especially tart granny smith apples for balance) or crackers and cookies that are not overly sweet.
I would recommend serving pumpkin pie fluff dip with some of these favorite dippers:
- Graham crackers
- Biscoff cookies
- Gingerbread cookies
- Gingersnap cookies
- Pumpkin spice scones
- Vanilla wafers
- Pretzels
- Apple slices
- Pear slices
- Pie crust dippers
How to Store Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
This creamy pumpkin cheesecake dip is best served cold, so be sure to store it in the fridge. To keep leftover pumpkin cheesecake dip fresh, cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in an airtight container. It will last in the fridge for up to 4 days.
For a make-ahead option, this dip can be frozen for up to 3 months in an air tight, freezer safe container. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
You may need to re-whip before serving.
About the Ingredients for Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
This delicious pumpkin dip recipe is made with just a handful of ingredients:
Pumpkin puree – I recommend removing the excess water from pumpkin puree. Whether you are using canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree. Place the pumpkin puree in a cheese cloth or thin linen cloth over a strainer. Squeeze out as much water as possible and you are good to go! Do not use pumpkin pie filling unless absolutely necessary. If you do use pie filling instead of pure real pumpkin, be sure to use a lot less spices.
Cream cheese – Use full fat cream cheese for a rich and luxurious flavour and texture. Use light cream cheese for a healthier option. Make sure you use softened cream cheese to avoid chunks of cream cheese in this creamy pumpkin dip.
Spice – You can use pumpkin pie spice, or make your own combination with the classic warming spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice for great fall flavor.
Sugar – Brown sugar adds a bit of sweetness with some depth to it. You can use granulated sugar instead, but brown sugar is just perfect here.
Vanilla extract – Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavour
Feel free to add a little cool whip to make a more fluffy pumpkin dip; it’s also a great way to bulk up the dip for a larger serving size.
