Description
Light and fluffy Pumpkin Pie Dip made with just 5 ingredients in 5 minutes! This no-bake fall dessert features heavy cream, pumpkin puree, and warm spices for the perfect appetizer or sweet treat. Serve with apples, gingersnaps, or graham crackers.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1¾ cups heavy cream
- 1 (3.4-oz.) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
For Serving:
- Apple slices
- Pretzel rods
- Gingersnap cookies
- Graham crackers
- Nilla wafers
- Your favorite cookies or sweet crackers
Instructions
In a large bowl using either your stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a handheld mixer, beat the heavy cream and instant vanilla pudding mix together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture looks like it’s on its way to becoming whipped cream—soft, airy, and billowy. Don’t over-beat or you’ll end up with butter!
Add the canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt to the same bowl. Here’s where you switch tools—grab a rubber spatula and gently stir everything together until completely combined with no streaks remaining. Be patient with this step; you want everything evenly incorporated for that perfect pumpkin color throughout.
Transfer your gorgeous dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. Surround it with apple slices, pretzel rods, gingersnap cookies, graham crackers, or whatever dippers your heart desires!
Notes
- Texture tip: If your dip seems too thick, don’t add more liquid! Just give it 10 minutes at room temperature and it’ll soften to the perfect consistency.
- Avoid this mistake: Don’t try to use regular (not instant) pudding mix. It won’t set properly without cooking, and you’ll end up with a runny mess.
- Smart shortcut: Already have whipped cream in the fridge? You can fold pumpkin and spices into 3 cups of pre-made whipped cream for an even faster version.
- Presentation hack: Serve in a hollowed-out mini pumpkin for an Instagram-worthy presentation that takes seconds!
