My husband and daughter always the first to dive into this dip (save some for the guests!) Once friends arrive, the bowl never stands a chance. It’s the kind of snack that keeps everyone hanging out by the table, laughing and going back for “just one more bite.”

Why We Love Pumpkin Pie Dip

  • Cozy pumpkin spice flavor – Every bite is full of creamy pumpkin goodness and warm spices that taste just like fall.
  • Perfect for fresh apple slices – If you’ve been apple picking, grab a crisp apple, slice it up, and dip away. Graham crackers, cookies, or pretzels are just as tasty.
  • Quick to make, easy to share– Mix it in minutes, chill, and serve. It’s a great make-ahead dessert for fall get-togethers, Thanksgiving, or holiday snack boards.

We love pumpkin spice so much, we’ve been adding it to all kinds of desserts in our kitchen. For a no bake option, try this creamy pumpkin pudding or these delicious pumpkin spice rice krispie treats. Or turn up the pumpkin spice and fall flavors even more with these delicious pumpkin snickerdoodles!

  • whipped topping – like Cool Whip, the store brand works just as well.
  • pumpkin puree – canned or fresh can be used in this recipe
  • instant vanilla pudding mix – Dry mix only is needed. Pudding gives a deliciously creamy vanilla base that pairs so well with the pumpkin.
  • milk – You can use whatever type you have in your fridge. A vanilla yogurt can also be substituted here in a pinch.
  • pumpkin pie spice – for all the cozy fall flavors, you can use my pumpkin pie spice blend or one from the store

If you like this dip, these pumpkin pie cheesecake bites are creamy no bake pumpkin pie wrapped in white chocolate, yum! The no bake pumpkin pie cheesecake bars are also delicious and pretty easy. If you’re up for a little more baking, try the gooey pumpkin pie dump cake or the pumpkin poke cake which are both great for a crowd, especially for a holiday.

How To Make Pumpkin Pie Dip

Making this pumpkin pie dip is super easy, you’re mostly mixing ingredients. Don’t skip chilling the dip before serving or the dip can be too loose to stay on the cookies when you dip. No harm in snagging a taste before you chill it though!

  1. Place the pumpkin puree, instant vanilla pudding, milk and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients well.
  1. Add whipped topping and fold the pumpkin mixture into the whipped topping until well mixed and it turns light orange in color and turns into a fluffy orange marshmallow.

  2. Serve with vanilla wafer cookies, graham crackers, sliced apples or your favorite dippers. Dust the top of the dip with a little extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon as an optional garnish.

What To Dip In Pumpkin Pie Dip?

When it comes to dipping, the fun is in the variety. This creamy pumpkin pie dip pairs best with crunchy dippers that balance the sweet pumpkin spice flavor. You can go simple with just an option or two, or make a whole charcuterie style dip board. Here are some of our favorites to set out on a snack board or dessert tray:

  • Cookies – Vanilla wafers, gingersnaps, shortbread (Chessman cookies work great!) graham crackers (Teddy Grahams are adorable!), sugar wafers or even animal crackers. These add buttery, spiced, or sweet crunch that works perfectly with pumpkin.
  • Fruit – Crisp apple slices are a classic fall choice, but strawberries, pears, or grapes are also delicious.
  • Something salty – Pretzels or waffle cone pieces bring that sweet-and-salty contrast (and keep people going back for “just one more”).
  • Something extra – Pound cake or angel food cake cubes give you a softer, dessert-style option. Cinnamon sugar pita chips add a fun fall twist, and even marshmallows (mini or regular) are delicious for dipping.

You can stick with one or two simple options, or pile a whole platter full of dippers for a party spread. Honestly, there’s no wrong way to serve this pumpkin fluff dip. If you sneak a spoon straight into the bowl, I won’t judge.

Pumpkin Pie Dip Variations

Make It A Parfait- Layer this dip in glasses or in a giant glass bowl with crunchy cookies or pieces of sponge cake in between.

Make It A Pie– Add this dip to a baked graham cracker crust or a baked pie crust for a super easy cold pie filling.

Swap The Pudding- There are a few different flavors of pudding that work well with this dip. Try cheesecake, white chocolate or french vanilla to mix it up.

Make It A Cheesecake Dip– Soften a block of cream cheese by slicing it into pieces and letting it sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes. Then whip the cream cheese with an electric mixer and add the rest of the ingredients for this dip for a delicious cheesecake dip.

Add A Garnish– Topping this dip with chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, or a drizzle of caramel makes it look super pretty to serve!

How Long Will Pumpkin Pie Dip Last?

Pumpkin pie dip can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Store cookies or other dippers separately from the dip or they can become soggy.

    Made this for a gathering at my house and it’s a big hit. It makes so much that I was wondering if half can be frozen for another time and still be just as good?

    1. I am so glad everyone loved it Dorinda! I would probably spread it in a graham cracker crust and freeze it into bars or a pie. I don’t know how well it would defrost as a dip that is scoopable as I haven’t tried it that way, but the bars aways freeze just fine and should still be tasty. The filling is similar to these bars https://onmykidsplate.com/pumpkin-cheesecake-bars-no-bake/
