If you love pumpkin pie, then this Pumpkin Gingersnap Dip is for you! I used 3 simple ingredients: canned pumpkin puree, vanilla pudding mix and pumpkin pie spice. No cream cheese or cool whip here so it's much healthier than those cream cheese based pumpkin dips.

Whether you're having a Thanksgiving dinner, Halloween party, or casual fall get-together, this pumpkin dip is perfect! (So is my Savory Pumpkin Hummus!) Plus, it can be ready in less than 5 minutes!

Serve this with my pumpkin martinis or my party punch for more fall goodness.

I love serving it with gingersnaps, apples and graham crackers but see other options below!

It's also vegan friendly and gluten free requiring only THREE ingredients!

🛒Ingredients

Canned Pumpkin Puree- Make sure you do NOT grab the pumpkin pie filling. That is to use for pies and has added sugars and spices.
Vanilla Pudding Mix- You will just be using the powder! It will add flavor and sweetness.
Pumpkin Pie Spice- This is a pantry staple this time of year. You can make your own spice using cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, all spice, and clove!

That's it!! No 'folding in' of whipped toppings! I mean, my 2 year old son could mix this up!

You're friends and family will be digging in before you even clean your hands!

🎃How This Pumpkin Dip Is Different

There are many homemade pumpkin dips out there however most have ingredients are not healthy or fattening.

The other dips also taste watered down and are not as "pumpkin-y" as it should be. I mean, if I am serving a pumpkin dip, I want to taste the PUMPKIN!!

Festive Serving Tips

🎃Option #1: Make A Pumpkin Bowl Using A Real Pumpkin!

Try serving your pumpkin dip in an actual PUMPKIN for an added 'WOW' factor! Here is a video that shows you how to clean out a pumpkin if you want to serve the dip inside one. Just make sure to get yourself a SMALL pumpkin if you want to use it to hold this dip.

🎃Option #2: Use a ceramic pumpkin with a lid!

I have a FEW of this around the house that I use for many things this time of year. (I always find them at Target for less than $5.00 around fall.) I will put candy in them, cookies, or DIPS! It is beautiful and a lot quicker than cleaning a real pumpkin out.

These babies are also the perfect vessel for taking dips to parties! Just scoop the dip inside, cover with the lid and use a large rubber band to keep the lid closed! Then tell the host or hostess they can keep the pumpkin at a thank you gift!

If you want to add a creamy element, serve a bowl of my boozy bourbon whipped cream for those who don't mind dairy!

Frequently Asked Questions
