Pumpkin Dip Ingredients

For the base:

Cream cheese – This recipe calls for 16 ounces of cream cheese. I used full fat for maximum creaminess, but you can feel free to substitute a lower fat variety. Be sure your cream cheese is completely softened before using it!
Sour cream – 1/2 cup of sour cream helps to balance out the flavor and thickness of the cream cheese. Again, I used full fat for maximum creaminess and flavor.
Sugar – 1/2 cup of sugar gives this dip all the sweetness it needs. I used granulated sugar, but brown sugar (or a combination) would work as well.
Pumpkin – You’ll need 3/4 of pumpkin puree, which can be found canned in the baking aisle.
Pumpkin pie spice – I love the flavor or pumpkin pie spice and used 1 teaspoon in this dip. If you prefer cinnamon, feel free to substitute.
Vanilla – Finally, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract finishes this dip and rounds out all the flavors.

For the topping:

Flour – I used 1/2 cup of all purpose flour. You can also make this recipe gluten free by substituting another type of flour.
Melted butter – I used salted. Alternately, use unsalted and add a pinch of salt.
Brown sugar – Brown sugar makes the best streusel. If you prefer granulated, that will work as well.
Pumpkin pie spice

For the icing:

Powdered sugar
Milk
Vanilla extract

How to make Pumpkin Dip

Make the cheesecake base – In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sour cream, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Mix well using a hand mixer on medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go.

Make the streusel topping – In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix with a fork until large crumbs form.

Bake – Transfer the cheesecake base to a pie plate and spread evenly. Top with the streusel topping and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Glaze & enjoy – Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then whip up the powdered sugar icing and drizzle as desired. Serve with graham crackers, gingersnaps, vanilla wafers, or any of your favorite dippers.
