What Is Pumpkin Dip?

This recipe is a sweet dessert-like dip made with pumpkin purée, cream cheese, and marshmallow fluff .

Alternatives to Cream Cheese

Our official recommendation: Don’t omit the cream cheese. Its slight tang and creamy texture is key. But in a bind, your best bet is ricotta. The texture will be slightly lumpier and looser, but it will still taste delicious.
