Hello everyone! This post is in honor of National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day which is celebrated on October 21st every year.
Cheesecake is a real favorite of mine. If it's not to heavy on the spices, I can easily eat 2 slices. Each slice has to have whipped cream topping too. But this post is not about cheesecake is it- Nope- Today I've decided to celebrate this holiday with a pumpkin cheesecake dip instead of a cheesecake cake/pie. Below is a recipe adapted from Taste of Home.
1 brick (8 ounces) cream cheese
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 – 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (optional)
gingersnaps and/or fresh fruit for serving
Using a mixer, beat cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add powdered sugar (1/2 cup at a time), pumpkin pie spice, and ginger until combined. If your dip is too thick, add 1 – 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to thin it out. Keep in refrigerator and serve cold. fakeginger
