You know, I’ve always had a soft spot for pumpkin.
Growing up, pumpkin pie was a big deal at family gatherings—rich, smooth, spiced just right. But let’s be real—sometimes, I want all that pumpkin goodness without having to bake anything.
That’s where this pumpkin cheesecake dip comes in. It’s super simple, full of cozy fall flavors, and perfect for dipping just about anything—apples, graham crackers, or even a spoon (no judgment here).
Tips & Variations
- Substitutions:
Swap out the cream cheese for a plant-based version and the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt to make it dairy-free. - Spice it up:
Don’t have pumpkin pie spice? Use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of cloves. - Add texture:
For extra crunch, serve with ginger snaps or sprinkle granola on top.
Serving Suggestions
Spoon the dip into a shallow bowl, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle some toasted nuts on top for a little crunch. Serve it with sliced apples, pear wedges, or graham crackers. Trust me—this stuff disappears fast!

Description
A no-bake, creamy pumpkin cheesecake dip with warm fall spices—perfect for dipping apples, graham crackers, and more!
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or maple syrup for a refined-sugar-free option)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)
- Drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional, for presentation)
Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. This helps give the dip a smooth, creamy texture. - Add pumpkin and yogurt
Mix in the pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt until well combined. - Sweeten it up
Add powdered sugar (or maple syrup), vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. - Chill for flavor
Pop the dip in the fridge for at least an hour. This lets the flavors meld together nicely. - Top and serve
Before serving, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts and drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup for a pretty finish.
Notes
