This Pumpkin Cookie Dough Dip is an older recipe, but I thought it needed a photo face lift as well as a tweak of the recipe. The original recipe was a lot like our edible cookie dough. Which, don’t get me wrong, is insanely delicious. But it is not the greatest for a dip. In this version of the recipe we have added cream cheese and powdered sugar to make it a better consistency for dipping. If you are still craving that solid cookie dough feel though leave those out, grab a spoon and find a quiet room. We won’t tell anyone.
How to Make Pumpkin Dip
Toasting Flour
All purpose flour has a small risk of E. coli if it is consumed raw. It is for that reason that we recommend toasting it first.
Pumpkin Spice
The other day we published our Pumpkin Spice Recipe. It is a great seasoning mix that you can also easily buy. It replaces a lot of the spices that are called for in recipes like this. That said, if you don’t feel like using pumpkin pie spice, an alternative would be to use the following:
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Pumpkin Pie Filling vs. Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin puree is what we are using here, and it is exactly what it sounds like. It is a baking pumpkin that has been baked and the the insides have been pureed and cooked down. Cans of pumpkin puree contain only pumpkin. If you are only able to find pumpkin pie filling, because we are not baking this, you can swap it out for the pumpkin puree and it will still work. That being said, pumpkin puree is our preference.
How to Serve Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
This dip recipe can be served right after making it. If you make it ahead of time, it will thicken up in the refrigerator. It will then have a consistency similar to a cheese ball. Still delicious, but you may want to serve it with a knife for spreading.
