Dip Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 8 oz. pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Add the cold heavy whipping cream to a bowl and whisk on medium speed for about 45-60 seconds until the cream thickens slightly but remains loose enough to fall off the spoon. Using a hand beater or whisk attachment works best.
- Set Aside Whipped Cream: Transfer the whipped cream into a separate bowl. You can keep the same bowl for the next step but change the mixer attachment to a paddle if you have one.
- Cream the Base: In the original mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat together until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.
- Combine All Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree and the reserved whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on a low speed until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy and even.
- Serve: Transfer the pumpkin fluff dip into a serving bowl or a hollowed-out pumpkin for a festive touch. Serve with your choice of chips, crackers, or fruit slices.
Notes
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid overly sweet or spiced dip.
- For a lighter sweetness, adjust powdered sugar to taste.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and smooth texture.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on preference.
