Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.125 tsp salt
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier mixing.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree.
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
Mix on low speed initially to combine the dry ingredients with the cream cheese mixture, then increase the speed to medium and beat for another 2-3 minutes until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices to your preference, if necessary.
Transfer the pumpkin cream cheese to a serving bowl or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately if preferred.
Enjoy the pumpkin cream cheese spread on bagels, crackers, or as a dip for fruit!
