Easy Pumpkin Pie Dip

There are some recipes that just belong in the fall rotation, and this easy pumpkin pie dip is one of them.

It takes just a handful of ingredients, doesn’t require any baking, and comes together in about 10 minutes. The pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice give it that familiar fall flavor, while the vanilla pudding mix and whipped topping make it light, creamy, and easy to scoop up with a cookie or apple slice.

This is the kind of recipe I like to have around when I’m taking something to a fall gathering and don’t want to spend half the day making it.

Why This Pumpkin Pie Dip Works

It’s quick. You can have it mixed and chilling in about 10 minutes.

There’s no baking. Just mix, fold, and refrigerate.

It makes a lot. The recipe makes about 32 two-tablespoon servings, which makes it especially handy for a party, potluck, or holiday gathering.

It goes with just about anything. Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, gingersnaps, apple slices—you really can’t go too far wrong.

Ingredients

You only need four ingredients:

• 1 (15-ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin
• 1 (5-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 (16-ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed

That’s it.

No baking. No complicated ingredient list. No standing over the stove.

Just mix everything together and let it chill.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dip

1. Add the pumpkin, vanilla pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice to a large bowl.
2. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until incorporated.
4. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

That’s the whole recipe.

I like recipes that don’t require much more explanation than that.

What to Serve with Pumpkin Pie Dip

This is one of those recipes where you can pretty much use whatever you already have on hand.

Try serving it with:

• Graham crackers
• Vanilla wafers
• Gingersnaps
• Apple slices
• Pretzels
• Cinnamon pita chips

For a fall gathering, I’d put the dip in a bowl in the middle of a platter and surround it with a mix of cookies and apple slices. Nothing fancy required.

A Few Easy Variations

The original recipe is intentionally simple, but there are a few easy ways to change it up.

Add a little crunch. Sprinkle chopped pecans or crushed graham crackers over the top just before serving.

Make it extra fall-ish. Add a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice over the top.

Go sweet and salty. Put pretzels alongside the cookies and fruit for a little contrast.

I wouldn’t go overboard with this one. The whole point is that it’s easy.

How to Store Pumpkin Pie Dip

Cover the dip and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to serve.

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving.
