This Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip is sweet and creamy with warm cinnamon spices! This treat tastes fantastic with Oreo cookies.
This post is all about how to make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip.
This Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip recipe calls for simple ingredients, and guests will go insane for its creamy, sweet taste! While you can serve this dip several ways, adding it to a dessert board loaded with Oreo cookies creates a LEGENDARY snack!
If you’re wondering why Oreo cookies? Let’s just say there’s a reason they sell Oreo Pumpkin Spice Cookies! But in all seriousness, Oreo cookies are made with black cocoa powder and a sweet filling. When you dip the crunchy cookie into the dip, the cinnamon, pumpkin, and cream cheese flavors complement the cocoa perfectly!
If you’re not an Oreo fan, no problem. This dip can also be served with sliced apples, pretzels, vanilla wafers, or graham crackers.
You’ll need five ingredients: a can of pure pumpkin (NOT PIE FILLING), cream cheese, ground cinnamon, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Check out the easy recipe steps below!

What Does Whipped Pumpkin Dip Taste Like?
Initially, the dip tastes bland but creamy after combining and whipping the pure pumpkin and cream cheese. The ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar add warm spices and sweet notes, allowing the cream cheese mix to SHINE in taste. The texture is like pudding that far exceeds the taste of any ole pumpkin pie.
You’ll Need 5 Ingredients:
- One Can Of Pure Pumpkin, 15 ounces. (NOT Pumpkin Pie Filling.)
- Cream Cheese Brick, 8 ounces, softened.
- Ground Cinnamon, 3 Teaspoons.
- Vanilla Extract, 2 Teaspoons.
- Powdered Sugar, 1 1/4 Cups.
Equipment Needed:
- Stand Or Hand Mixer
How Should I Serve Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip?
This is an IMPORTANT question! Just because it’s a dip does not mean it can’t be served like a pudding. Add dip to a dessert cup, bowl, or martini glass with whipped cream on top.
If you want to crush an optional Oreo cookie in the bottom before adding the pudding, this adds another delicious element. I also included two whole Oreos on top. Check out the picture above, and serve this pudding or dip CHILLED.

FAQs, Variations & Tips For Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
Can This Easy Pumpkin Dip Recipe Be Made With Cool Whip?
Yes! Pumpkin dip made with a Cool Whip is often called pumpkin fluff. Instead of cream cheese, you’ll use pudding and Cool Whip.
How Can I Make Savory Pumpkin Dip?
A savory pumpkin dip would still include pure pumpkin and cream cheese, but the sweet ingredients would be eliminated. Try experimenting by adding salt, pepper, garlic, and spices to the dip. Serve with crackers.
Is Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip Healthy?
Because this dip calls for powdered sugar, I would not classify this recipe as healthy, so enjoy it in moderation.
What Is Pumpkin Chip Dip?
It’s pumpkin dip made with spices, garlic, salt and pepper. All the sweet ingredients are eliminated so that the dip can be enjoyed with salty potato chips.
Can I Make This Recipe Without Cream Cheese?
Yes! You can use Cool Whip and a box of vanilla pudding.
What Are Some Substitutions For This Recipe?
You can substitute ground cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice or include both. If adding just the pumpkin pie spice, use two teaspoons. If you want to add both, use two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and one teaspoon of cinnamon.
Can I Freeze This Dessert Dip?
You can freeze this dip for up to three months in the freezer, but know its texture will change slightly from being frozen.
How Should I Store Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip?
Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than five days. Because this dip contains cream cheese (a dairy product), it shouldn’t be left out of the fridge for more than two hours.
Can I Make This Dip Ahead?
Yes! I recommend making this dip a few hours before serving, or the day before so it’s chilled to perfection.
