Creamy, Delicious Pumpkin Pie Dip
This creamy pumpkin pie dip blends cream cheese with warm fall spices, giving you all the flavors of classic pumpkin pie in a party-ready treat.
A Perfect Fall Dessert for Pumpkin Lovers
If there’s one thing I look forward to every fall season, it’s pumpkin recipes. Between pumpkin bread, a nice, warm pumpkin spice latte, and good ol’ pumpkin pie, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy that classic flavor. But when you want something quick and creamy, nothing compares to Pumpkin Pie Dip!
It tastes almost like our Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie, sweet, spiced, and velvety smooth, but without the oven or the wait. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you’ll have a creamy pumpkin pie dip that’s perfect for dipping gingersnaps, apple slices, or even vanilla wafer cookies.
It’s so good that you can make it for low-key fall gatherings, Halloween parties, or Thanksgiving, and it’ll always blend right in!
Ingredients
- Cream cheese, softened
- Confectioner’s sugar
- Canned pumpkin
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
Our Easy Pumpkin Pie Dip Recipe (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Whip the Cream Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. This helps avoid lumps later.
Step 2: Add Pumpkin and Spices
Mix in the canned pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, and ginger. Blend until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Chill & Serve
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the flavors mingle together and makes the dip extra refreshing.
That’s it! Three easy steps to what’ll be the best part of that fall meal!
What to Serve with Pumpkin Pie Dip
One of the best parts of this recipe is choosing your dippers. A few good options include:
- Gingersnap cookies (a classic!)
- Apple slices or caramel apple slices
- Vanilla wafers or vanilla wafer cookies
- Cinnamon graham crackers
- Biscoff cookies
More than a dip: Spread it over toast, bagels, or muffins for a sweet morning treat, or layer it with crushed cookies and whipped cream to make a quick trifle. You can even spoon it into mini cups and top with granola for a fall-inspired parfait, if you’re feelin’ fancy!
Basically, if it pairs well with pumpkin spice, it’s fair game.
Scaling the Recipe
If you’re making this Pumpkin Pie Dip for more than just a few people, it’s super easy to double (or even triple) the recipe! Just keep the ratios the same and mix everything in a large bowl or stand mixer so it blends evenly. One batch makes about 4 servings, so for a holiday party or potluck, go ahead and scale up.
Just remember that this dip disappears quickly, so making extra is never a bad idea!
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s best to stick with canned pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and spiced, which can make your dip too heavy.
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes! In fact, it tastes even better after chilling for a few hours. Just keep it in the fridge in an airtight container until serving.
What’s the best way to make this dip extra fluffy?
Fold in Cool Whip or whipped heavy cream. It adds airiness and makes it taste almost like pumpkin mousse.
How long does pumpkin pie dip last?
Stored properly, it’ll keep in the fridge for 2–3 days. Just give it a quick stir before serving.

This is awesome, I used apple slices and grahms to dip, wonderful! Gingerbread men are way cuter though!
Love the presentation! What brand gingerbread men? I thought Archway Cookies at first. Thanks!
A wonderful recipe. You have so many and so many wonderful stories to go with them.
Yum. This looks delicious. Thank you!
I hope you enjoy Ellen!!
I was eating at Old Chicago Pizza in Clarksville TN which is just across the border from Ft. Campbell Army base and saw a soldier come in with a child. I don’t know if it was her daughter or what the relationship was. I sat there wondering if Mom had been on deployment and was trying to get to know her daughter again. I called the waiter over and asked if I could buy their pizza in addition to my own. He was surprised but asked if I wanted buy their drinks as well. I said sure. He came back a few minutes later and told me he’d asked his manager how to do it and the manager said since I had offered to buy the pizza, they would cover the drinks. I wrote a note thanking the soldier for her service and asked to waiter to give it to her after I was gone. I left wishing I could afford to do something like that much more often because it made me feel so good and I can only hope it did the same for soldier too.
What a wonderful thing Joni!! I know she was beyond blessed…just as much as you were!
Great idea SarahLee, don’t forget small blankets, hats or gloves especially this time of year. We once stumbled upon a homeless mans “home” during our geocaching. Sleeping bags and plastic trash bags to keep items dry are helpful.
Christy, never had pumpkin dip, sure going to try this one.
