Why You'll Love this Healthy Cheesecake Pumpkin Dip recipe...
- This Healthy Pumpkin Dip is just what pumpkin lovers have been waiting for. It's a fluffy and creamy dip flavored with lots of pumpkin pie spice, and canned pumpkin, and sweetened with either honey or maple syrup (your choice!)
- This simple combination tastes like pure PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON.
- The base is a combination of whipped cream cheese (which I find lighter and healthier) AND greek yogurt. Sure you could go for straight cream cheese with this dip BUT the Greek yogurt balances it out and adds some extra nutrients like probiotics and protein.
- You will seriously LOVE this dip because it's no-bake.
- AND it's only 6 ingredients meaning it all comes together in less than 10 minutes.
- This versatile Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip is great for a party or even a family or kid snack.
Ingredients:
Here's an overview of what you'll need to make this Cheesecake Pumpkin Dip recipe, but keep scrolling for the full recipe amounts.
For the Pumpkin Dip:
- Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to buy regular pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix for my Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip. I use canned pumpkin puree for this. to
- Whipped Cream Cheese: I think whipped cream cheese makes this recipe lighter and fluffier.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt bulks out this dip with fewer calories and more health benefits than straight cream cheese. Low-fat or full-fat will work depending on your dietary preferences.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: This simple spice blend featuring cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves gives you that classic pumpkin pie flavor you crave. Use your favorite store-bought brand or make your own with my Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice recipe.
- Vanilla Extract: A touch of vanilla brings out the flavors.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: You'll want a touch of a sweetener to get the dessert flavor you want. I picked honey for my testing but maple syrup will also work. You could also make this recipe lighter by sweetening it with stevia or your favorite keto sweetener. Just sweeten to taste. I use this instead of powdered sugar to have this healthier.
Dippers:
Use one or many of these as dippers for your pumpkin dip!
- Graham Crackers
- Sliced Apples
- Vanilla Wafers
- Pretzels - The salty and sweet combo is delish!
- Ginger Snaps
- Biscoff Cookies
- Pear Slices
- Banana Slices
What about the cool whip?
Many Pumpkin Dips recipes include Cool Whip but mine doesn't which is why this is a Healthy Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip. I feel like this blend of ingredients (including the Greek yogurt swap!) is just as tasty and without the processed Cool Whip. I also don't use regular sugar in my dip and sweeten it with honey or maple syrup.
Instructions:
This is an overview of the instructions to make this Cheesecake Pumpkin Dip recipe, but the full detailed printable recipe is below in the recipe card.
- In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients including the pumpkin puree, whipped cream cheese, greek yogurt, and pumpkin spice.
- Add a small amount of sweetener and then adjust to taste. Add up to 3 tablespoons of the honey.
- Put the pumpkin mixture in your favorite bowl.
- Serve with your favorite dippers like apple slices.
Tips for Making The Pumpkin Dip
- Make sure you get canned pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling which is already sweetened and spiced. Pumpkin Pie filling will make this recipe way too strong and sweet.
- You can substitute mascarpone cheese for the cream cheese. You can also use plain cream cheese if you can't find whipped but it will not be as fluffy.
- If you love cinnamon feel free to add some extra!
- If you make this dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge the cream cheese will firm up some so it will not be quite as fluffy. Make sure to give it an extra stir before serving.
Variations
I love this Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip recipe as written, but here are some fun variations.
- Make it Indulgent: Substitute Cool Whip for the Greek yogurt and confectioner sugar for the honey for a more rich treat.
- Make it Dairy Free: Use dairy-free yogurt and cream cheese.
- Make it Vegan: Use dairy-free yogurt and cream cheese, plus make sure to use maple syrup and not honey.
