Ingredients
Method
- Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1–2 minutes, until completely smooth and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt; beat about 1 minute until evenly combined with no streaks.
- With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping in two additions until no white streaks remain.
- Cover and refrigerate 1 hour (at least 30 minutes) to set.
- Stir gently, transfer to a serving bowl, dust with cinnamon and serve with apple slices, graham crackers, gingersnaps, vanilla wafers and pretzel twists.
Notes
Soften cream cheese fast: cut into 1-inch cubes and leave 20 minutes, or microwave the unwrapped block 10–15 seconds. Storage: covered in the fridge 3–4 days; do not freeze. Don't leave out more than 2 hours. Make ahead up to 1 day and stir before serving. Whipped cream swap: ¾ cup heavy cream whipped with 1 tbsp powdered sugar.
