Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment on medium speed beat the cream cheese till its smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Reduce the speed to low and add the pumpkin puree and powdered sugar in several intervals alternating between the two. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater as needed.
Mix in the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Soften the cream cheese to room temperature to make it easier to work with.
Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree.
Cover and chill the dip for at least 2 hours or overnight.
This dip can prepared up to 3 days in advance. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
In a hurry? Substitute 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice in place of the other spices.
This dip is pretty sweet. Consider serving with tart apples like Granny Smith Apples or Pink Lady Apple. Or try the sweet and salty combo and serve with pretzels or bagel chips.
