Fancy Navajo Sweet Pumpkin Dip Recipe

Who else is ready for all things fall? If you are like me, then you are in pumpkin heaven right now. I think I’ve purchased a pumpkin every week since the middle of September and I probably had one too many pumpkin spice lattes. This time of year means everything pumpkin spice. Today I wanted to share a quick and easy recipe for a Fancy Sweet Pumpkin Dip.

This Fancy Sweet Pumpkin Dip is super simple to make and only requires a few ingredients. You can also use as a frosting on a cake or as a spread on a bagel! But I enjoy it like a dip. Around this time of year, I love eating apples with caramel dipping sauce. However, it’s very sticky and often gets everywhere!! This sweet pumpkin dip is not sticky and packs a lot of flavor! I like dipping apples, ginger snaps, and pretzels into the pumpkin dip. Honestly, I could see this as a replacement to whipped cream on your regular pumpkin pie for a double pumpkin punch!

I hope you give this a try, and if you do send me a picture on my social media channels. I always love seeing your fancy creations.
