Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (245g) pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp (25g) brown sugar
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (120g) whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1 box graham crackers, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes until softened.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on low until mostly combined, then beat on medium until smooth, about 1 minute.
  4. Add pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low for 30 seconds until evenly distributed.
  5. Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until the dip is light and airy. Do not overmix.
  6. Optional: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor and consistency.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with graham crackers, apple slices, or your favorite dippers. Garnish with extra pumpkin pie spice or mini chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. The dip can be made a day ahead and chilled overnight for deeper flavor. Easily make it dairy-free with vegan cream cheese and coconut whipped topping, or gluten-free by using gluten-free dippers. Adjust sweetness and spice to taste. Do not freeze, as the texture will change.
