Preparation Time: 10 minutes Chill Time: 1 hour (optional) Yields: About 2 cups of dip

Ingredients:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
• Graham crackers, apple slices, or cinnamon sugar tortilla chips for dipping

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree and softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them until smooth and well incorporated.

4. Chill (Optional):

1. For an even creamier texture and melding of flavors, cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for about an hour. This step is optional but enhances the dip’s taste and consistency.

5. Serve and Dip:

Recipe tips:

• If your puree is cold, let it come to room temperature before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.  
• When using homemade puree, be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture before using it.
• For best results, chill this dip for several hours before serving. 
• Don’t have cream cheese? Use sour cream instead. 
• For vegan pumpkin dip, use vegan whipped topping instead of Cool Whip.
