2 Recipes for Sweet Pumpkin Dip

With all the weird stuff they have every year that is pumpkin spice, I decided to share with you all my delicious recipes that I have for Sweet Pumpkin Dips.  One is more heavy and one is more light, but both are absolutely delicious and are always welcomed at any gathering I bring it too.  Try bringing it to your holiday parties this year and see for yourself!

Pumpkin Spice Dip 

Ingredients:

• 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese at room temperature
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin at room temperature
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:
​

1. In a medium bowl, place the pumpkin and cream cheese
2. With an electric mixer on slow, beat until the two ingredients are thorougly mixed together
3. ​Add brown sugar, and the three spices and beat on medium until dip is soft and mixed completely smooth.
4. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving

This recipe is so easy to make, it literally takes about 5 minutes, and it makes about 2 cups, more than enough for a party with some left over for snacking the next day!  It will stay fresh in the refrigerator in a sealed container for about a week.
​

The best hand mixer, in my opinion is this one by Kitchen Aid.  Not only is it a great mixer, but it comes with a 1 year replacement guarantee and is available in 15 colors!  I went with blue!
