Skinny Pumpkin Pie Dip Recipe

I’m the dip queen. I babysit the dip table at parties and I love dips as meals. I don’t even need dippers. Just pass me a spoon. Given my love of both dips and pumpkin, this pumpkin pie dip recipe is right up my alley. The fact that it’s on the skinny side, even better. The entire batch, according to this calculator has 217 calories total, and for 4 servings that’s just 54 calories per serving. Even if I eat the whole batch myself there’s not one ounce of guilt. This pumpkin dip tastes like creamy pumpkin pie filling in dip form, with just the right amount of fall spices. There’s a tiny bit of tang from the cream cheese, the perfect contrast to the sweet Cool Whip. Now you know what to do with the last half cup of pumpkin puree you have leftover. And sniff, this is my last pumpkin recipe of the season.

What’s in This Pumpkin Pie Dip?

To make this easy pumpkin dip recipe, you’ll need: 

Pumpkin puree Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip) Cream cheese Instant vanilla pudding mix (or instant pumpkin pudding mix) Pumpkin pie spice Cinnamon

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dip

This is arguably the easiest dessert dip I’ve ever made. To make this pumpkin dip recipe, simply mix together all the ingredients until smooth, then serve with your choice of cookies, fruit, etc.  This pumpkin pie dip will last up to a week in the fridge. You’ll need to store it in an airtight container, and if the pumpkin cream cheese dip separates after being chilled just give it a good stir before serving. 

Can I Use Real Whipped Cream in This Pumpkin Dip?

I haven’t tried making this pumpkin cream cheese dip with real whipped cream since this is a 5-minute convenience recipe. Cool Whip is more stable than real whipped cream, which tends to deflate after a few hours. But when made with Cool Whip, the dip stays fluffy and perfect for days in the fridge, not that it will last that long.

Is There an Instant Pudding Substitute I Can Use? 

Yes, you can substitute powdered sugar if needed. I prefer using instant pudding since it adds both flavor and sweetness, but powdered sugar works in a pinch. 

Tips for Making Pumpkin Pie Dip

When making this pumpkin pie dip, note that you’re supposed to add the instant pudding mix into the dip like you would a dry ingredient. You do NOT need to make the pudding according to the directions on the package.  This pumpkin dip with Cool Whip is great with gingersnaps, graham crackers, pretzels, on bread or bagels, with cinnamon-sugar pita chips, or most anything carby. Or use it as a fruit dip. My daughter loves dipping apples into it. I also like this pumpkin pie dip when it’s slightly frozen. Freeze the batch for about an hour before you plan to dig in and then you can go to town with a spoon. It’s like creamy yet skinny pumpkin ice cream and so good.
