Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

If you love pumpkin cheesecake but can never find the time to bake one you'll think this pumpkin cream cheese dip is to die for! 👻 For those of you looking for delicious no-bake Halloween treats you've got to try this pumpkin dip with ginger snaps, along with my mom's no-bake pumpkin pie!

Last week marked the first official day of fall, although as far as I'm concerned, September 1st is the first day of "spooky season", whether the San Diego weather agrees with me or not.

Now that autumn is officially in swing, I'm starting it off right with this delicious pumpkin dip recipe. I love hosting parties and when I do I try to find quick and easy recipes.

Baking has never been where I shine in the kitchen, so I'm all about no-bake Halloween treats! If you're like me you have to try this really fun chocolate Halloween bark, these pumpkin spice truffles, and this spooky charcuterie board!

🔖 Ingredients & Substitutions

• Cream cheese: For a healthier alternative, you can try using vanilla Greek Yogurt.
• Cool whip: I haven't personally tried this, but I think cheesecake pudding mix would also work, although the texture may end up a little different.
• Brown sugar: You can also try sweetening with powdered sugar, honey, or pure maple syrup.
• Toffee Bits: You can leave these out or use chopped walnuts or pecans instead.
• Pepitas: These are optional.
• Gingersnaps: You can use other cookies like Biscoff, Nilla Wafers or graham crackers. Alternatively, you could also try apple slices, pretzels, or any of your favorite dippers.
