Recipe features

- Tastes just like pumpkin pie filling!
- Super smooth and creamy
- Great for parties served with apple slices, pretzels and graham crackers
What you'll need
- Pumpkin puree provides fluffiness and, of course, the pumpkin component of this dip. Pumpkin pie filling does not work here.
- Pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon are the two main spices. Pumpkin pie spice is made up of cloves, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Greek yogurt: Choose plain for a blank slate. Regular, non-Greek yogurt works but will yield a thinner dip. Vanilla yogurt will work too if you don't mind added sugars.
- Maple syrup for sweetness.
How to make this recipe
While pumpkin dip tastes just like pumpkin pie filling, it is thankfully much easier to make!
Simply combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine until smooth.
Adjust maple syrup to taste. If you are using yogurt with sugar in it start with a smaller amount of maple syrup.
Serve chilled with sliced apples, graham crackers, and pretzels. Since this is a sweet dip it goes best with fruit and sweet crackers.
Expert tips and recipe FAQ
- I'll be honest, this pumpkin dip is actually great for breakfast. You can make a really good breakfast bowl by just eating half the recipe and adding diced up apple, pecans and pumpkin seeds.
- Toppings: Add chopped pecans or walnuts, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, etc. as a garnish and for extra nutrition.
- Leftover pumpkin puree can be used in pumpkin cinnamon rolls, oatmeal, smoothies, or even a pumpkin mug cake.

Yes, you can make the dip up to 24 hours in advance. Store covered in the fridge and stir before serving.

I have never tried freezing pumpkin pie dip because it gets eaten so quickly! My guess is that it would freeze well and could be thawed overnight in the fridge. I'll update the post if I get a chance to try freezing it.
Yes, you can substitute your favorite dairy-free yogurt one for one in place of Greek yogurt. If unable to find a plain yogurt, choose vanilla flavor and adjust the maple syrup to taste. Greek yogurt is thicker than most vegan yogurts, so the pumpkin dip texture will likely be on the thinner side.
