Ingredients in easy pumpkin pie dip

Only 7 ingredients stand between you and your next bowl of pumpkin dip! Gather the cool whip, cream cheese, and pumpkin goodies, and let’s begin.

Cool whip: Start your recipe with 1 8oz tub of defrosted cool whip.
Cream cheese: From there, add 1 block of softened cream cheese! Combined with the cool whip, these will form the base of the recipe.
Pumpkin puree: Next up is 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree. This contributes the bulk of that delicious pumpkin flavor and makes the dip what it is!
Maple syrup: Include 2 tbsp of maple syrup as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer.
Vanilla: As always, 1 tsp of vanilla upgrades the taste.
Pumpkin pie spice: Throw in 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor.
Salt: Last but not least, include a pinch of salt!

Tools needed to make this dip

To make your own pumpkin dip with cream cheese, you will need a large mixing bowl and a stirring utensil. I find that using a hand mixer makes it much easier, so I recommend that if you have one!

For measuring, you will need 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, and 1/2 cup.
