About The Ingredients

The ingredients to this tasty dip are minimal, and everything can be purchased at your local grocery store.

Pureed pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon, brown sugar, and cream cheese on a marble counter.

pumpkin puree - this is what gives the dip is deep fall flavor. Make sure you purchased canned pureed pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. Canned pumpkin can be found on the baking aisle.
softened cream cheese - I love the tang and the creaminess that the cream cheese adds to this recipe. I prefer the name brand on cream cheese - I feel like it is smoother and mixes better.
maple syrup - pure maple syrup has the best flavor in this recipe, but you can use regular pancake syrup in a pinch.
cinnamon - this adds some warmth and depth to the dip. You can also substitute with pumpkin pie spice.
