Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
gingersnap cookies, for serving and garnish
additional maple syrup for drizzling
Directions
Place the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping the sides as needed.
Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup to the bowl. Continue beating on medium speed for another 2 to 3 minutes until well combined and airy. The longer you mix, the fluffier the dip becomes.
Transfer the pumpkin dip to a serving bowl. Lightly crush several gingersnap cookies into crumbs and sprinkle over the top. Drizzle with additional maple syrup for visual appeal and extra flavor.
Serve immediately with whole gingersnap cookies and fresh apple slices for dipping.
Comments
This is a genuine five-minute dessert that delivers: cream cheese, pumpkin, and spices mix in a bowl, then whip the heavy cream and fold it in. Every ingredient is available at any Charlotte grocer without a special trip—even the pumpkin pie spice is standard. At about 90 cents per serving, it's cheap enough for a party dip. The only minor drawback is that it's best consumed the same night, as the whipped cream will deflate by the next day, and the 5-minute timer is honest about total assembly time with no hidden prep steps.
