Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin
  • 3.4 ounces white chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (plus a pinch for dusting)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • 1 graham cracker, crushed for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is combined and fluffy, approximately 1 minute.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Spices: Add the canned pumpkin, white chocolate instant pudding mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger to the cream cheese mixture. Beat again on medium-low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture until just combined, taking care to maintain the light and airy texture.
  4. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour or longer to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
  5. Serve: Transfer the chilled dip to a serving bowl. Dust the top with a pinch of cinnamon and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Serve alongside cinnamon graham crackers, vanilla wafer cookies, Biscoff cookies, or apple slices for dipping.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • Refrigerating the dip for longer than 1 hour intensifies the flavors and thickens the dip.
  • Try varying the dippers based on seasonal availability or preference, such as pretzels or sliced pears.
  • White chocolate pudding mix is key for the dessert’s sweet richness; do not substitute with other pudding flavors.
  • Use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid overly sweet or spiced mixtures.
