How Do You Make Pumpkin Dip?

Here’s how to make it: (See recipe card below for full printable recipe)

Step 1: Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, cover the pecans with 1 Tbsp of maple syrup. Mix until the pecans are fully coated in the syrup. Then place them onto a parchment paper covered baking tray. Bake for 4-5 minutes, then stir them around before letting cool.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, use a mixer to soften the cream cheese. Mix in the pumpkin puree about a 1/3 at a time. Next mix in the powdered sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and 2 Tbsp of the maple syrup.

Step 3: Place the pumpkin dip into a large serving bowl. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Chop up the cooled maple pecans. Then cover the top of the dip with them. Next, drizzle the remaining 1 Tbsp of maple syrup over the top. Serve with gluten free shortbread cookies, graham crackers, gingersnap cookies or apple slices.
