Pumpkin Dip with Cream Cheese
This Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip is the kind of treat that belongs at every fall party or game day spread. It’s made with smooth pure pumpkin puree, rich cream cheese, a touch of pumpkin spice, and just enough sweetness to make it irresistible.
I like to use my stand mixer or hand mixer to whip everything together until the texture is light and creamy. Serve it chilled and pair it with a variety of dippers, such as vanilla wafers, gingersnap cookies, pear slices, or fresh fruit.
This delicious pumpkin dip recipe is an easy, no-bake recipe, that captures all the warm spice and comfort of autumn in one bowl.
What I’ve Learned After Making This Pumpkin Dip Dozens of Times
Get the Creamiest Texture. Beat the softened cream cheese by itself for 1–2 minutes before adding any other ingredients. This breaks up lumps and gives you that ultra-smooth texture you see in the pictures.
Warm Your Dippers Slightly. Lightly warming the cookies, apple slices, and vanilla wafers makes the dip taste even richer, almost like a crustless pumpkin pie.
Use Fresh Spices. If your pumpkin pie spice has been sitting in your cupboard for years because you only use it once a year, it’s time to replace it. Spices lose their flavor over time. You might be surprised by how much fresher spices can boost the flavor intensity.
Ingredients & Estimated Cost:
You only need six ingredients to make this easy no-bake pumpkin dip!
- Cream cheese (8 oz – $2.97): I recommend using full-fat cream cheese for the best texture, but 1/3 less fat would work okay. Do not use fat-free as it tends to make the dip grainy.
- Canned pumpkin (1 cup – $0.62): Do not use pumpkin pie filling.
- Powdered sugar (1¾ cups – $0.54)
- Brown sugar (2 Tablespoons – $0.09)
- Ground cinnamon (1½ teaspoons – $0.05)
- Pumpkin pie spice (1½ teaspoons – $0.06): You can use allspice as a substitute for a similar flavor.
The recipe cost is calculated based on the amounts needed and will vary depending on fluctuating grocery costs. The pricing for this recipe was updated in October 2025.

This is a great make-ahead recipe. You can make the dip up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
Serve with your favorite dippers, such as cookies, gingersnaps, graham crackers, pears, apples, nuts, and a spoon to lick it clean!
