Why I love this

It is easy and quick to make! Five ingredients and mix them together with a hand mixer. This pumpkin dip with cream cheese and Cool Whip as ingredients is definitely delicious! How could it not be?

Sides and dippers are easy and inexpensive. Your favorite dippers might already be home and on this list - graham crackers, pretzels, and Nala wafers. Did you know this is the perfect pumpkin dip for apples?

This is an inexpensive snack. Even more so because you probably have most of the ingredients and the dippers at home. I love dessert dips, especially if it's still warm out.

There is nothing to cook and nothing to bake. All you do is mix ingredients together! Seriously, you need to try this easy pumpkin dip recipe! It's so delicious!

Ingredients

These are the five simple ingredients that you will mix together. It takes less than 5 minutes!

For the Dip

1 (8 ounces) container of whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
1 (8 ounces) package of cream cheese, softened by bringing it to room temperature
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (to taste, but this is the perfect amount for the flavor I like!)

Things to dip

graham crackers
gingersnaps
vanilla wafers
pretzels
vanilla cookies
sliced apples

Instructions

Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer.
Add 1 cup pumpkin puree and mix until well blended (hint - it's not the whole can!)

Step 2
Add confectioner sugar and your favorite pumpkin pie spice until well-mixed. If you are in a hurry, you can add everything (except the whipped
topping) and mix with your hand mixer.

Step 3
By hand, gently stir/fold in the whipped topping. You want to keep it fluffy for the dip.

Step 5
Cover or place in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour for the flavors to blend.

Storage

Ensure this is well covered with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge. The dip will last 3-4 days.
This is not a good dip to freeze.

FAQs

How do you keep this dip cold when serving outside?

I serve this in a smaller bowl and refill from the dip that I keep in the fridge. I've also put the dip bowl into a bigger bowl with ice cubes in it. I wouldn't do this for hours, but it does keep the dip colder for the short term.

If I don't have pumpkin spice at home, what can I substitute?

If you can, make your own! I use 1 teaspoon cinnamon with ½ tespoon nutmeg and then add ½ teaspoon cloves OR allspice.
