Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp (2g) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (225g) whipped topping, thawed

Instructions:

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and sifted powdered sugar on medium high speed. Continue until the mixture is pale and completely smooth. Note: This prevents a grainy texture later.
  2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with your spatula. Ensure no lumps of cream cheese are hiding at the bottom.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  4. Beat on medium speed until the color is a uniform, vibrant orange.
  5. Slowly add the thawed whipped topping.
  6. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the mixture using a cut and fold motion.
  7. Stop folding the moment no white streaks remain. Note: Over mixing will deflate the air.
  8. Transfer the Pumpkin Fluff Dip to a serving bowl.
  9. Refrigerate for 1 hour until the structure feels firm and set.
