Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Spread or Dip

1 1/2 cups
10 min

It’s definitely pumpkin season and this lightly-sweet and very creamy spread is great on bagels or pumpkin bread for breakfast! Or, use this Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Spread or Dip on crackers or as a dip for fruit—it makes a great autumn appetizer or snack! It’s flavored with warm spices that really add to the fall flavor—cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

This spread or dip is very soft and creamy when you first mix it up, so it does need to be refrigerated for at least an hour or two after mixing all the ingredients together. Even after it’s refrigerated, it’s still very creamy, so if you want to thicken it up more, you could either substitute brown sugar for the honey, or just use 2 Tablespoons of honey instead of 3 and omit the vanilla extract.
