The weather is finally starting to drop in Texas which means it is time to bring out all the pumpkin desserts! I may not be a big fan of pumpkin spice lattes (I much prefer chai tea or mulled cider) but I do love a good pumpkin dessert.
This pumpkin dip is a new favorite… I mean who doesn’t love a recipe that starts with a brick of cream cheese?? More of my favorite pumpkin desserts:

Tips to Make Pumpkin Pie Dip
Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling. I don’t typically sift my powdered sugar before adding, but make sure it’s fresh and break up any clumps (same with the brown sugar) as needed before mixing.
I like to make my own pumpkin pie spice but you can use the store-bought version as well.

What to Serve with Pumpkin Dip
I love to serve this pumpkin pie dip with different cookies and fruits. This dip is a perfect addition to a dessert or charcuterie board. Add the dip to the center of the board and fill in the rest of the space with:
- Cookies – graham crackers, gingersnaps, shortbread cookies
- Apples – pears would also be yummy
- Nuts – pecans or walnuts would be a yummy addition
- Pretzels – rods or twists, we also like the pretzel thins
- Candy – a fun addition to a dessert board
