This fluffy pumpkin fip is a quick and creamy fall favorite! With cozy pumpkin pie flavor and warm spices, it’s perfect for dipping cookies, fruit, or graham crackers — and it comes together in just minutes.
Holly’s Recipe Highlights
- Flavor: Sweet and creamy, this pumpkin pie dip can be made and enjoyed throughout the festive fall and winter months.
- Difficulty: Oven and stovetop-free, you only need 4 ingredients and 2 easy steps!
- Time Saving Tip: Make the pumpkin dip up to 4 days in advance so it’s ready to serve on party day.
Only 4 Ingredients
- Pumpkin: Choose a can of pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin filling, which is pre-seasoned and has a different texture. Leftover pumpkin puree? Add it to pumpkin brownies!
- Pudding: No need to buy the name-brand vanilla pudding. Just be sure to use the instant variety.
- Whipped Topping: Light and sweetened whipped topping adds a fluffy texture to pumpkin, but you can also make your own whipped cream if desired (it may not hold as well).
- Seasonings: Buy or make homemade pumpkin pie spice and adjust the ingredients to your preferred tastes as desired.
Variations
- Use as much or as little pumpkin pie spice as you like. Ground cloves, cinnamon, or nutmeg will bump up the warming flavors.
- Sometimes I like to stir in toasted coconut, walnuts, pecans, or pumpkin seeds for a crunchy twist on pumpkin dip.
- Add ¼ cup of softened cream cheese in Step 1 to add stability and extra creaminess.
Perfect Pairings For Pumpkin Dip
- Sweet Dippers: Graham crackers, cinnamon-spiced pretzels, vanilla wafers, or ginger snaps will add sweetness and crunchy texture.
- Fruit: Fresh apple slices are a crisp and refreshing way to enjoy the creamy, spiced dip.
- Salty: Pretzels balance out the sweetness of the dip with a little salty note.
- Breakfast: Spread the dip on warm toast or pancakes for a cozy, seasonal breakfast or brunch option.
Leftover Dip Tips
Keep leftover pumpkin dip in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze leftover pumpkin dip in ice cube trays and transfer the cubes to a zippered bag. Pop a cube or two and add to a smoothie or overnight oats.
