How To Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip

Set cream cheese out until it has reached room temperature. This will make it easier to beat cream cheese and provide for smoother results.

Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix until smooth. If you prefer it more whipped you can run it through the blender or food processor for 45-60 seconds, or until  completely smooth. A handheld mixer or a stand mixer will also help it reach a smoother consistency in less time than hand mixing.

Just before serving- top with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dash of cinnamon, and a some crushed walnuts or pecans if desired for a pretty presentation. Alternatively, you can top this delicious pumpkin dip recipe with a dallop of cool whip.
