Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Place the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter in a medium bowl. Using a mixer, beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth consistency for the dip.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the powdered sugar, canned pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Beat all ingredients again until fully combined and the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Serve or chill: Serve the dip immediately with your choice of dippers such as graham crackers or apple slices, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve—this helps thicken the dip and deepen the flavors.
Notes
- This dip pairs well with graham crackers, apple slices, pretzels, or ginger snaps.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar or maple syrup based on preference.
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened for easier mixing and smoother texture.
