Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup powdered sugar
15 ounces canned pumpkin
3.4 ounces white chocolate instant pudding mix
2 teaspoons cinnamon (plus a pinch for dusting)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
8 ounces whipped topping
1 graham cracker (crushed for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on low speed until the mixture is combined and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Step 2: Add the canned pumpkin, white chocolate instant pudding mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Beat on medium-low speed until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3: Using a silicone spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.

Tips & Variations

For a richer dip, substitute half of the canned pumpkin with pureed sweet potato.
Use dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
Try adding a tablespoon of maple syrup for extra sweetness and depth.
To enhance the white chocolate flavor, sprinkle mini white chocolate chips on top before serving.

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Give it a gentle stir before serving if it separates slightly. This dip is best enjoyed chilled and should not be frozen, as the texture may change upon thawing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin?

Yes, but you’ll need to cook and puree fresh pumpkin before using it. Make sure it is well-drained to avoid excess liquid, which can affect the dip’s consistency.

What can I use to dip if I don’t have graham crackers?

You can serve the dip with vanilla wafers, Biscoff cookies, apple slices, pretzels, or even sturdy crackers depending on your preference.

Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling which contains added spices and sugars.
Whipped topping can be substituted with fresh whipped cream if preferred.
Keep dip chilled until ready to serve to maintain texture and freshness.
Great for fall gatherings, holiday parties, or casual entertaining.
