Recipe Notes
• Use blocks of cream cheese — not the spreadable cream cheese from a tub. The spreadable cream cheese has more air and liquid added, which will give your
dip an undesirable consistency.
• Let your cream cheese soften at room temperature. This will make it easy to whip. Cold cream cheese is too firm to blend into a light, fluffy dip.
• Make sure to use a can of 100% pure pumpkin puree — not canned pumpkin pie filling. They look similar on the store shelves, but pumpkin pie filling has
added sugar and seasonings that you don’t want in this dip recipe.
• Sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the cream cheese. I know this is an extra step, but it’s incredibly important. Otherwise, you may end up
with little clumps of powdered sugar in the dip, which gives it a lumpy texture (no, thank you)! Instead, sifting the sugar results in a smooth, creamy
dip.
• Cut the ingredients in half to prepare a smaller amount of dip. This recipe yields approximately 4 ½ cups, or about 18 servings at ¼-cup each.
