Fall is here and so is everything pumpkin! This easy Pumpkin Pie Dip is one of my favorite recipes to break out when autumn arrives. It is the perfect blend of creamy cheesecake-like texture with all the flavor of pumpkin spice.

This sweet dip is perfect for parties, serve with buffalo chicken dip, spicy candied pecans, and a few varieties of pigs in a blanket to round out the party spread!

Why I love this recipe

  • I love that there’s no oven required, which means less fuss and fewer dishes for me!
  • Everyone seems to go for a good dessert dip, and this one’s irresistibly creamy and comforting. Just what I crave in the fall.
  • I can switch up the dippers or adjust the sweetness to fit everyone’s tastes.
  • Preparing this easy pumpkin dip a day ahead makes my life easier, and it’s perfectly ready when I am!

Ingredients

  • cream cheese

  • canned pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

Step by step

  1. Cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a stand mixer (affiliate link) or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, adding the powdered sugar gradually.
  2. Mix in the pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips for best results

  • Substitute low-fat cream cheese without affecting taste or texture.
  • Don’t skip the chill time; the flavors need to combine beautifully.
  • Balance sweetness to taste by adjusting the powdered sugar slightly if desired.

Variations

If you’d like to switch things up a bit, consider adding a dash of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness, or sprinkle a touch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for added warmth.

For a nuttier version, try folding in a handful of crushed pecans or walnuts, which will add texture and flavor that complement the pumpkin base.

Feeling a little more indulgent? Add a dollop of whipped cream or cool whip just before serving to give the dip an extra touch of decadence!

Serving suggestions

  • For a sweet bite, try graham crackers, vanilla wafers, sugar cookies, apple slices, or gingersnaps.
  • For a salty option, pretzels, pita chips, and toast points make perfect companions.

Storage

You can make this pumpkin pie dip a day or two in advance, which is ideal for planning around a busy schedule.

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep fresh for up to three days.

I do not recommend freezing pumpkin dip, as thawing changes the texture.
