5 minute Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

I’ve come across a ton of recipes on Pinterest lately that are all things pumpkin.  ‘Tis the season after all.

One recipe that intrigued me was this Pumpkin Fluff Dip.  I thought ‘how fun’!  But the problem is 99% of them used Cool Whip topping and at least ½ cup of sugar.

So that ended that.

Then I saw a few that had cream cheese and I thought, why not whipped cream?  It’s lighter and fluffier and tastes 100% better than Cool Whip.  So I combined the whipped cream with about 4 oz of cream cheese, some spices and ½ cup pumpkin puree.

It wasn’t ‘pumpkiny’ enough.  So I added a little more spice and another ¼ cup pumpkin … nailed it!

You can serve this with some apple slices, organic graham crackers or even some homemade cinnamon tortilla chips!  I liked the apples the best but I think anything cinnamon or honey related with this dip is amazing!
