How To Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

1. Combine cream cheese and pumpkin: In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and canned pumpkin puree. Beat cream cheese with the pumpkin puree using a hand mixer until the dip is smooth and no lumps remain.

2. Add vanilla pudding and spices: To the bowl, add the vanilla pudding mix, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir everything with a rubber spatula until smooth and well combined.

3. Add the Cool Whip: Carefully fold in the Cool Whipped topping until it fully combines with the rest of the pumpkin dip. 

4. Serve: Transfer the fluffy pumpkin dip to a bowl of your choice and serve with cookies, graham crackers, or whatever you want. Enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Add a ¼ cup of powdered sugar for an extra sweet dip. 
• Avoid overmixing the whipped topping, or the dip won't be as fluffy.
• Make the dip ahead of time and chill it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. 
• Let the cream cheese sit out at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, so it's easier to whip.
• Whip up the pumpkin dip in the serving bowl so you have one less dish to wash.
• Top the pumpkin cream cheese dip with candied pecans, pumpkin seeds, or chocolate chips for more flavor.

How To Store This Dip

In the fridge: I just store leftover pumpkin cream cheese dip in an airtight container, or you can store it in the bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 4 days.

In the freezer: Transfer leftover dip to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to 2 months. When you're ready to enjoy it again, you'll want to let it thaw overnight in the fridge. Keep in mind that freezing the dip may alter the texture when thawed.
