What Ingredients Are in Pumpkin Dip for Ginger Snaps?

This pumpkin cream cheese dip is made with simple ingredients. 

It’ll be a family favorite that’s SO easy to make!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Cream cheese: Soften it to room temperature for easy blending.
• Pumpkin puree: Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
• Powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar): Adds sweetness and smoothness to the dip.
• Cinnamon and ginger: Warm spices to up that pumpkin flavor!
• Ginger snaps or molasses cookies: Perfect for dipping and adding extra spice.

Pro Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon. (I prefer lighter pumpkin flavor.)
• If you like more of a fluffy dip, consider hand folding in a tub of cool whip!  It will add sweetness and fluff!

How to Store Pumpkin Dip?

To store this pumpkin pie dip recipe, place it in an airtight container.

Or you could cover it with plastic wrap.

That might make more sense if you’ve got it in a little pumpkin.

Then refrigerate until ready to serve.

It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to three days.

 

 

Can You Freeze Pumpkin Dip?

Yes, you can freeze this pumpkin cheesecake dip!

Place it in a freezer-safe airtight container.

Freeze for up to one month.

Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Now here’s my side note. The texture will probably change a bit.

Dairy products like cream cheese tend to separate.

I think with some blending up, it’s totally fine. 

But if you’re really picky about textures, you may not want to freeze it.

So… Think of it like a dessert? Don’t eat it for every meal.

But as a dessert? Yep! Down that stuff baby!

Of course, healthy is so subjective. So really, if you are on a special diet or something?

I guess talk to your doctor!
