Pumpkin Pie Dip Recipe

Pumpkin Pie Dip Recipe Pumpkin Pie Dip Recipe photo by Taste of Home Rating 5

I came up with this rich, creamy pumpkin dip when I had a small amount of canned pumpkin left in the fridge after my holiday baking. It is also great served with sliced pears and apples, or as a spread on zucchini bread or any nut bread. —Laurie LaClair, North Richland Hills, Texas

I made this at Thanksgiving and served it with ginger snaps. It was a huge hit. I omitted the sour cream as suggested and was very happy with how it turned out. I will definitely make this one again.

This was easy to make, and was tasty. But it wasn't anything special to rave about or make again. I'll keep this in my recipe box just in case the mood strikes me again, but I think once was enough.

I made this dip for a church fellowship and had most of it still left afterwards. All the cookies were gone, but not the dip. I like the taste of it, but it was a little too rich. I layered the left-over dip with crumbled graham crackers in parfait glasses for dessert. It was good, but again too rich.

It was just ok. I had 1/2 left over at the party

This is very quick and delicious as is. Great recipe for the holidays, especially with the gingersnap cookies!

Made following the recipe and also by using a reviewer's modification of cool whip & vanilla pudding mix. I prefer the shortened version. It's sweeter, cream cheese is too bitter in the original recipe. It's a hit at parties!

This is a delicious dip, however, you need to omit the sour cream to get that great "dipping" consistency. I have made this several times for guests and it is always a hit, especially with homemade gingerbread.

i doubled this recipe for my house and my in-laws...it turned out runny. i'm hoping by refrigerating it before serving makes the cream cheese harden some. tastes very good. i didnt have any ginger to use, so i left it out. i will be serving with ginger snaps, nilla wafers, apples and pears.

Reviewed on Nov. 15, 2010 by Sarah4444

You have to make sure the cream cheese is completely soft ALL the way through, or you'll get chunks...not the most appetizing look. Some people really liked this, others didn't. I'd share the recipe with those who liked it, but my family didn't care for it, so it's not a keeper for us. Thanks though! =)

Really easy and really tasty. Used with homemade ginger cookies and it was extremely yummy. I did use some of the other reviews suggestions and left out the sour cream. I may make it again with the sour cream and see if there's any taste difference.

Very tasty dip! I found it to be a bit more liquidy than I would like. I would suggest combining everything but the sour cream, and then decide if you want to add it. I will probably just omit it completely in the future.

My kids LOVE this dip. (I think they'd eat a bowl of it.) I've made it without the sour cream and it's just as good.

Reviewed on Nov. 02, 2010 by stephsigns

DELICIOUS!!! Even better if you replace some (not all) of the sugar with maple syrup. DEFINITELY a keeper. Great with graham crackers, good quality bread (i.e., walnut), apples, firm pear, or crackers.

Reviewed on Nov. 01, 2010 by dak97

I would make this again with some changes. The cream cheese and sour cream give this too much tartness. I would omit both and just use 8 oz. mascarpone cheese then decrease powdered sugar to 1 cup.

I suggested this recipe for my daughter's Pampered Chef party. She served it with crisp gingersnap cookies and soft molasses cookies. Her guests each wanted the recipe before they left! It is wonderful for torte layering also. I used spice cake as a base.

It will be on our Thanksgiving menu as well!

I just made this but I combined the other review recipe and this one. It is great tasting and lower calories. I mixed 1 small can pumpkin, 1 small instant vanilla pudding sugar free, 1 8oz light cool whip, 1 light pkg cream cheese softened, 1 teas. ground cinnamon and 1/2 teas. ginger, mix with hand mixer and chill. served with graham crackers. Tastes like a pumpkin cheesecake

I forgot to add that I used Greek Yogurt, making it half of the sour cream. It turned out very well and was a healthier version.

Excellent flavor. Good with apples but would like to try either with ginger snaps or even shortbread cookies.

I was really excited about the ingredients in this recipe and it turned out quite good. The only thing is that I would use less sour cream or non at all next time. Maybe I wil use whip cream instead because it was a little tangy for my taste but other then that it really dos tast like pumpkin pie.

My Grandson Cole turned 11 earlier this month. He is the only one at home that likes pumpkin. He is in the 6th grade, so Grandma asked his stepmom if he would like me to make chocolate cupcakes for his class at school. I was making him one of those large cupcakes, so I put this pumpkin filling in the center. I put the top on and frosted it with chocolate frosting then I pasted the dip on top, crushed up cocoa puffs and being he dirt bike races I found a small dirt bike,and put that going up the side. His stepmom said she thought he had about 25 kids in his homeroom, but she called me back the next day because cole said he had 61 (he's in a charter school), she check with the school and he was right. She thought I could make cookies, but I was finished with the cupcakes. So I stopped at the bakery the next morning on my way out to the school to buy more. When I took it out I told him it had pumpkin frosting on it. He called me that night to tank me and he said he took his big cupcake home because he didn't want to share with his friends and that was the best cupcake in the world. (Moral for Grandparents-before you volunteer check with the school before you offer anything.)

Nice and easy and yummy! I didn't use quite all of the sugar, maybe 1 & 1/2 cups, just used the rest of the bag I had. I made the night before and it held up well. I think it should be refrigerated before serving. Good flavor that is perfect for fall functions.

I recently made this dessert for a "Christmas in July" party and paired it with graham crackers. I used less than half of the recommended confectioner's sugar, and it was still very sweet. Next time, I'll probably use 1/3 of the sugar. It was a party favorite.

Sorry, I need to edit my recipe, it should read 1 small 8 oz cointainer of cool whip, not 1 ounce of cool whip!

It's even easier to make if you follow this recipe: 1 can of pumpkin( small can), 1 small box of vanilla instant pudding mix dry, and 1 oz cool whip. Mix all ingredients together and chill atleast 1 hour before serving to develop flavors. I use sugar free pudding mix and sugar free cool whip. Delicious!

I made this for game day this year and instead of ginger snaps i used shortbread cookies. It was amazing, everyone loved it. We found that it was pretty rich though and didn't eat all of it. It makes alot and my family is not big on sweets.

It sounds delicious but do you think you could get by with less confectioners sugar? That does seem like a lot! I would like to make this, but would probably use the fat free cream cheese, since it would make quite a difference in the fat and calories as well. Please let me know about the sweet content. Thanks Cam Barnett
