Recipe FAQs
Yes, absolutely. This dip needs to be made in advance so that it has time to chill.
Ginger snaps are my favorite dippers, but apples, vanilla wafers, and graham crackers all work well.
No, these are two different things. Pure pumpkin is just pureed, cooked pumpkin. Pumpkin pie filling has other ingredients added such as sugar and spices. This recipe uses pure pumpkin.
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the cream cheese and sugar
Step 2: Mix in pumpkin and spices
Step 3: Chill for at least an hour, preferably longer
Pumpkin Dip
Ingredients
- 1 8-oz block of cream cheese, softened

- 1 15 ounce can pure pumpkin (do not use pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Mix together the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar using a hand mixer until smooth. (I usually add 1/2 cup sugar at a time to make it easier and avoid clumping.)
- Add in the pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir until well combined.
- Chill for at least 1 hour. This can be made the day before and left in the fridge overnight.
- Optional: sprinkle nutmeg on top before serving.
- Serve with ginger snaps, apples, vanilla wafers, or graham crackers.
