A pumpkin cheesecake dip is a dessert dip perfect for serving as a snack or dessert during the fall season. It’s a thick cream cheese sweet dip flavored with pumpkin spices and real pumpkin puree. It goes very well with celery sticks, apple slices, or cinnamon biscuits like graham crackers. The Fall season is here, and this easy pumpkin dip recipe is perfect for it.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to make this easy cream cheese dip for fall are:

• Cream Cheese – Any cream cheese, like lactose-free cream cheese, vegan cream cheese, or low-fat cream cheese, works well.
• Pumpkin Puree – You don’t have to use canned pumpkin puree, you can use your own made from real pumpkins. However, keep in mind that homemade pumpkin puree is always more watery and can thin out the dip.
• Powdered Sweetener – it can be powdered sugar or sugar-free powdered allulose or powdered erythritol to keep to make a sugar-free dip.
• Maple Syrup or sugar-free syrup.
• Pumpkin Pie Spices – you can make your own by using a combo of cinnamon, ginger, and ground nutmeg or ground cloves.

How To Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

For this recipe, you can use a:

• Food Processor, using the S blade attachment. This is the best way to process hard cream cheese, like dairy-free cream cheese.
• Hand Mixer – make sure the cream cheese is soft before use.
• Stand Mixer – using the paddle attachment.

This pumpkin dip is very easy to make in less than 15 minutes. Let me share how to make creamy pumpkin dip below.

1. Before you start, make sure you soften the cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes. I like to cut the block of cream cheese into small pieces, it softens faster.
2. Place the cream cheese in a large bowl with pumpkin puree, spices, powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
3. Beat the cream cheese mixture until light and creamy. Depending on your tastebuds, you want to adjust the sweetness or thickness of this pumpkin cheesecake dip. If the dip is too thick for your liking, add a bit more pumpkin puree or 1 or 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or coconut cream. If not sweet enough, add more powdered sugar, up to an extra 1/2 cup.
4. For more pumpkin flavor, increase the cinnamon adding 1/4 teaspoon extra every time. Stir and taste before adding more, as cinnamon can be overpowering.
5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate the pumpkin dip for an hour to cool it down and firm it up slightly before serving. The pumpkin spice flavors enhance with time.

Serving Suggestions

The best way to serve this super easy pumpkin dip is with some toppings like:

• A dollop of whipped cream
• Dark chocolate chips
• Pecans pieces
• Drizzle maple syrup
• Pinch of cinnamon

Serve this fall dessert dip with any fall fruits or biscuits you love, like:

• Apple slices
• Pear slices
• Graham crackers – or make my keto graham cracker recipe
• Whip cream
• Pretzels
• Gingersnaps

Storage Instructions

This dip is perfect for fall parties, and if you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. The dip recipe freezes well for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator the day before.
