PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE DIP

This Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip is one of my favorites and it’s always a hit with party guests. Dusted with ground cinnamon or cloves ( that second one is my favorite! ) and served with cinnamon sugar graham crackers or gingersnap cookies is the perfect treat or dessert to enjoy with friends and family or during a movie night. This dip is so easy to make and refrigerates well so you can make it a day before. All you need is cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie filling ( already has spices! ) and heavy whipping cream. No cool whip needed!

Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip Ingredients:

  • pumpkin pie filling (not 100% pumpkin puree)
  • cream cheese
  • powdered sugar
  • heavy whipping cream
  • cookie and crackers for serving

How to make Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip?

  • Start by whipping cream cheese with an electric mixer.
  • Add remaining ingredients one by one and whip well after each addition.
  • Place dip in a serving dish and refrigerate until serving.

Pumpkin Pie Filling VS. Pumpkin Puree

To make this dip quick and easy, I used pumpkin pie filling. It already has spices and the flavor of pumpkin pie. If you don’t have pie filling on hand, use pumpkin puree and add pumpkin pie spice to taste. Start with 1 teaspoon and add as needed.

How to store Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip?

If you want to make the dip ahead of time, prepare it and place in a serving dish. Cover it with saran wrap and keep in the fridge until ready to serve. You can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.

Expert Tips for the best Pumpkin Dip:

  • The secret to a perfect cheesecake dip is to use very soft cream cheese. It should be so soft, you have to use a knife to scrape the cream cheese from the wrapper. Cold or not soft enough cream cheese does not whip well and your dip will end up with white spots and speckles of it.
  • The other secret to a super creamy AND fluffy cheesecake dip is to use heavy whipping cream in place of cool whip or any other whipped topping. It’s perfect!

Recipe Notes

The secret to a very creamy and fluffy dip is to use cream cheese that is very soft. Not straight from the fridge, not warmed up in a microwave, not room temperature for 30 minutes. If your cream cheese is not soft, it will not whip well and your dip will end up with dots of cream cheese and not look appetizing. This tip can be applied to making any dips with cream cheese, cheesecake and cheesecake bars. 

You can make the dip one day ahead and store in fridge. It's still creamy, fluffy and delicious.

    my pumpkin pie mix says to mix in evaporated milk and 2 eggs but since it isn’t baked, wouldn’t this be hazardous to eat with the raw eggs? or am I supposed to just use the pumpkin pie mix without those 2 things?

    Hi Anna! Thanks for the yummy recipe! I made it last night for a get together and my friends loved it. Mine didn’t come out as fluffy as yours though. I’m thinking I don’t know how to soften cream cheese. I left it out for over an hour before using it. Any tips? Thanks!!

      Hi Monique! Thank you for making my recipe! If the cream cheese was so soft, you had to use a butter knife to scrape it off the wrapping – then it was soft enough. The whipping cream makes it fluffy too so maybe try mixing it a little longer next time or whip the cream in another bowl and fold into the cream cheese mixture. That would definitely make it fluffy. I hope this helps! Have a beautiful day!

    Oh my god, pumpkin + cheesecake = all my dreams come true! I am so going to make a batch of this and then eat it all for myself – because, you know, that’s what mature adults do 😉 Love all your tips for making cheesecake dips too, especially the one about having the cream cheese super soft. Can’t wait to try this!

    Hi! I just wanted to let you know I made this dip for a get-together with friends yesterday and it disappeared! I had to make a second batch! So good and awesome since it doesn’t have cool whip. Thank you for the recipe!
