We take pumpkin dip seriously! That’s why I tested so many different combinations (pudding vs no pudding, cream cheese vs no cream cheese, how much pumpkin puree, etc.) until I perfected a combination we LOVED!
In my final recipe, the powdered sugar adds sweetness and the cream cheese adds the perfect cream cheese flavor, making the dip taste rich and creamy!
Pumpkin dip is an easy no bake pumpkin dessert the whole family will love! Serve pumpkin fluff with graham crackers, gingersnaps, apple slices or nuts. Keep reading for more tips, tricks and storage tips.

Can I make this the day before and store in refrigerator?
Yes!
Can i add a little more puree after it’s done?
Hi Deb, I don’t recommend adding more pumpkin puree because it will change the consistency of the dip and make it runnier.
Okay, I could dip everything in this. So could my kids hahaha. We loved it!
This is delicious, I have used it between cake layers and to fill cupcakes. Mmmmm!
