Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip (with 10 Pumpkin Alternatives!)
Description
This dip starts by whipping cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until almost forming stiff peaks, which is then folded carefully into a mixture of room temperature cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, pumpkin puree, and a blend of spices including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. The folding process lightens the dense cream cheese and pumpkin mixture, creating an airy but creamy texture.
The pumpkin puree lends moisture and characteristic autumn flavor without overwhelming the dip. The blend of traditional pumpkin pie spices brings warmth and depth to the sweetened cream cheese base. Serving this dip chilled maintains its structure and flavor.
Serve it as a festive accompaniment with cookies or fresh fruit, enhancing dessert or snack occasions. Its creamy texture balances well with crunchy or juicy dippables.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (1 package, room temperature)
- 1/2 cup sugar (or 3/4 cup powdered sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 ground cloves pinch
- 1 allspice ground
- 3/4 cups heavy cream (very cold)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a stand mixer beat the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until its formed almost hard peaks (2-3 minutes).
- Remove from stand mixer and set aside into another bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients into the stand mixer and let it cream until fully combined and you can't taste the granules of sugar (alternately you can also use 3/4 cup of powdered sugar instead of the regular sugar).
- Fold half of the whipped cream in gently to lighten the dip before adding the second half.
- The first half will mostly deflate because the weight of the dip is still heavy, but the second half of the whipped cream will make it airy and light.
- Serve with your favorite cookies or fruit for dipping
