If you are making this dip for a party you can easily make it ahead of time. Just leave off any toppings such as whipped cream until you are ready to serve.
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have any lumps in your dip. When you’re ready to serve, gingersnap cookies, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, pretzel sticks, apple slices, pear slices, or even pretzel thins all make yummy items to dip.
Even though this dip tastes like pumpkin pie filling when you are at the grocery store you want to make sure that you purchase pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling. One of the great things about this pumpkin recipe is that it uses an entire can of pumpkin puree so there’s no need to worry about leftover pumpkin.
How to Make Pumpkin Dip
FIRST STEP: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 minute until smooth. Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides.
SECOND STEP: Lower the mixer speed to low and add the canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue mixing for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
THIRD STEP: Lower the mixer speed to low, and add the pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Increase the speed to medium and mix for a further 30 seconds.
FOURTH STEP: Tightly cover the pumpkin dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
