Flavors of pumpkin pie and cheesecake rolled into one delicious no-bake fall and holiday dessert dip that’s easy to whip up! This sweet appetizer dip is great for your fall, Thanksgiving, or Christmas Party!
Hello everyone! Are you all set for pumpkin season? I have been so into fall since August! Haha.
I had some leftover canned pumpkin puree from last year, so I’ve been baking with it since last month. In fact, this yummy and easy Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip was made with one of those pumpkin purees. Hurrah! Nothing is wasted!!!
Anyway, I have decided to make a delicious pumpkin dip because I love, love spiced cookies!!!
While sometimes I like eating these cookies plain and or munching them with my favorite English breakfast tea, my kids love eating their cookies and other snacks with some dip.
So, I thought, why not make a yummy fall-inspired dip that my whole family will enjoy with their favorite spiced cookies?
Inspired by the combination of pumpkin pie flavors with cream cheese for that extra cheesecake taste, I set off to make this delicious Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip!
The flavors came out so incredibly good for something so quick and easy to make and no-bake at dip!
Because of its ease of preparation, this yummy dip is a great addition to any fall or harvest party! In fact, it can even be made ahead of time if time is of the essence, eliminating any rush during party day itself.
You can pair these with any brand of your favorite spiced cookies or ginger cookies. I love the spiced cookies from either Trade Joes or Aldi’s so I buy them. They taste so good dipped in this creamy, fluffy Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip!
INGREDIENTS TO USE FOR MAKING this Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip
-
cream cheese, at room temperature
-
pumpkin pie spice
- confectioners’ or powdered sugar
-
canned pumpkin puree

It’s just a matter of mixing all the components for the pumpkin pie and cheesecake dip (cream cheese, spices, sugar, canned pumpkin, vanilla extract and salt). This can be made a day ahead. Simply refrigerate until needed.
OPTIONAL FRESHLY WHIPPED TOPPING
Make the delicious from-scratch whipped topping if you want to up the yum. So easy to make and only requires a few ingredients – heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon (optional) and a little powdered sugar to stabilize the cream. That’s all!
I also love to make the extra topping so you have a two-toned look to the dip!
So, party or not, make this easy, super yummy, and no-bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip this fall!
Easy Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip
Ingredients
- 1 (8) oz package cream cheese, softened (room temperature)
- 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1½ cups powdered (confectioners') sugar
- 1 (15) oz canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 pinches salt
For the whipped cream topping (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, optional
- 1-2 tbsp powdered (confectioners') sugar
Serve with
- spiced cookies (like ginger cookies or speculoos cookies), graham crackers or sliced apples
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes or until smooth and no more lumps appear (this is why cream cheese should be in room temperature – to avoid lumps).
- Add the pumpkin pie spice and the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla and salt and continue to beat until just until everything is well blended. Transfer to a serving bowl then refrigerate. This can be made a day ahead.
- The dip is great as is but if you want some contrast in colors and extra yum – add the whipped topping. Before serving, whip the cream until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and confectioners' sugar and whip just until combined. Spoon the freshly whipped cream on top of the pumpkin dip. Sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon, if desired.
- Serve with your cookies of choice or some sliced apples, too.

I think we should be eating pumpkin all year long. Since I was just at Trader Joes and bought pumpkin puree I need to make this dip. I also bought the Maple Leaf Cookies which will be perfect for dipping.
I love this! It was great with a few gingersnaps or graham crackers. The kiddos love this pumpkin pie dip for a mid-afternoon snack.
This is such a dip that you just can’t stop eating! Of course with spiced cookies as well – so delicious!
You had me at pumpkin! I made this for a small get-together last night and everyone loved it! Thanks for such a delicious and easy recipe.
Oh my gosh! You had me at pumpkin cheesecake! What a great combination of flavors for fall. This recipe is so tasty and I’ll make again for Thanksgiving.

What a simple and delicious dip – we certainly will be using it with apples and can’t wait to try other fruits too. Lovely idea.
Love the combo and the pumpkin pie dip sounds so delicious and flavorful. Perfect for fall. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been making this for the last 10 yrs. but use cool whip instead of making whipped cream. I also offer it with chunky apple and pear slices instead of cookies. Makes a great fall (anytime) treat and less carbs. Never any leftover!
