Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
- Rubber Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Serving bowl
- Small spoon or knife for swirling caramel
Ingredients
- 2 packages 8 ounces / 226 g each cream cheese, softened
- 1½ cups 180 g powdered sugar
- 1½ cups about 365 g pure pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 container 8 ounces / 227 g whipped topping, thawed
- ¼ cup 60 ml caramel sauce, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
Instructions
- Add the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, creamy, and free of lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Beat again until the mixture is smooth and the pumpkin is fully incorporated, with a consistent color and warm spice aroma.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a rubber spatula. Mix until the dip becomes light and fluffy, taking care not to overmix and lose its airy texture.
- Pour in ¼ cup of caramel sauce and fold gently until evenly distributed. Transfer the pumpkin cheesecake dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce over the surface. Use the tip of a knife or a small spoon to swirl the caramel into the dip, creating a marbled pattern.
- Serve immediately with apple slices, graham crackers, gingersnaps, vanilla wafers, or pretzels. For a firmer texture and more developed flavor, cover and refrigerate the dip for about 30 minutes before serving.
