Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it.
Stir in the chopped sage leaves and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the canned pumpkin purée and softened cream cheese. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and the garlic-sage mixture. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
Season the dip with ground nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
Garnish with additional grated Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, or a small sprinkle of chopped sage, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, breadsticks, or vegetable dippers of your choice.
