Notes
- Vegan? Make your pumpkin dip vegan by using your favorite vegan cream cheese.
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. If it's not softened, you won't be able to get a really creamy dip.
- Be careful when adding powdered sugar - Adding a little bit at a time, and beating it in slowly with the mixer will help you avoid a cloud of powdered sugar in your face!
- Be sure to buy pure pumpkin puree. The canned pumpkin pie filling has sugar and spices added to it already, and won't work well in this recipe.
- Other dipping options include fresh strawberries, pretzels, graham crackers, Oreos, or shortbread cookies.
- To Store: cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
