Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz. (226 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 15 oz. canned pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (90 g) powdered sugar
- 8 oz. cool whip
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Place the room temperature cream cheese, canned pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon into a food processor or bowl if using a stand mixer.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process or mix with paddle attachment until the mixture is smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides and pulsing again as needed to eliminate lumps.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Transfer the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture to a large bowl if not already in one. Gently fold in the cool whip until the dip is fluffy and evenly combined.
- Chill if Desired: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Serve immediately if you prefer a softer dip, or refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow it to thicken and set for a firmer texture.
- Serve: Present the pumpkin dip with fresh apple slices, graham crackers, pretzels, or cookies for dipping and enjoying.
