Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip #recipe

Although canned pumpkin is available all year round, it seems that "everything pumpkin" starts to emerge around September, and stays with us until the end of November. Every coffee shop carries a pumpkin latte, the stores have large pumpkin pies that are just begging to be smothered in whipped cream, and every food blogger is posting cookies, cakes, tarts, and chilis featuring pumpkin. In that regard, this post is no different. 🙂 Here is my addition to the multitude of pumpkin recipes that are floating around cyberspace, because no matter how many there are, there is always room for one more. Yields 1 1/2 cups This Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip is naturally gluten-free, and if served with apple slices, is the perfect snack to serve while hosting those that eat a gluten-free diet. However, gingersnap cookies and graham crackers are also perfect dippers for this delectable dip.  Yields 1 1/2 cups.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • pinch ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Using an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until evenly combined.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  4. Great served with gingersnap cookies or apple slices, but also very tasty on a lightly toasted bagel.
