Servings: 16 servings
Calories: 192kcal
Equipment
- 1 stand mixer and whisk attachment or electric hand mixer
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese to the stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment on medium speed, add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time. Cream together until combined.
- Add the vanilla, spices, and maple syrup and mix for a few more seconds. Be careful not to over-mix. Every so often, stop the mixer and use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything mixes evenly.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Slowly pour the heavy cream down the side of the mixing bowl (to prevent splashing).
- Once all of the cream is added, mix on high for about 2-3 minutes, or until stiff peaks begin to form.
- Add the pumpkin puree and mix until just combined. Stop the mixer and transfer to a serving bowl. Optionally, top with some ground cinnamon for decoration.

Cooking Tips
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use an electric hand mixer.
- Make sure the heavy cream is cold, or it won't whip well.
- If you skip creaming the cream cheese and powdered sugar together first, the dip will turn out lumpy.
- We're essentially making whipped cream, which requires a few minutes at high speed until the heavy cream starts to form stiff peaks. Add a little cream at a time, if you add it all at once it'll turn into a mess.
