What Kind of Pumpkin Should I Use?

Make sure you’re using canned pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. The pie filling is already sweetened and spiced, which would throw off the balance of this recipe. Look for pure pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin) for the best flavor and control.

Pumpkin Puree
This is the star of the show, giving the dip its signature earthy sweetness and autumn flavor. Make sure it’s 100% pure pumpkin.

Gives the perfect sweetness and blends easily into the dip without graininess.

Pumpkin Pie Spice
Brings the warm, cozy spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves that make this dip scream fall.

Vanilla Extract
Adds a subtle layer of sweetness and rounds out the flavor beautifully.

How To Make the Dreamy Pumpkin Pie Dip

Step 1: Whip the Cream Cheese Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and fluffy. This helps ensure no lumps in the final dip.

Step 2: Add the Pumpkin & Sweetness

Mix in the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula. Don’t stir vigorously—this keeps the dip light and mousse-like.

Step 4: Chill or Serve

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days for a firmer texture. Sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top before serving.

Leftovers? Store any remaining dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving again. It’s not freezer-friendly, as the texture will change.
