How to Store Pumpkin Pie Dip
To keep your pumpkin pie dip fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator (we love these glass containers with locking lids for storing dips!). It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. For best results, give it a good stir before serving again, as it may thicken slightly after chilling. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
Tips for Making Pumpkin Pie Dip
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother dip.
- Use Pure Pumpkin Puree: Opt for 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
- Adjust the Spice: If you love a stronger spice flavor, feel free to add more pumpkin pie spice or even a pinch of cinnamon.
- Chill Before Serving: For the best texture and flavor, chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Prep in Advance: This dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge, saving you time on the day of your event.
