5 Minutes From Start to Finish

Here are the ingredients for this healthy pumpkin dip recipe.

• cottage cheese – I prefer the higher fat content!
• canned pumpkin puree – If you want a stronger pumpkin flavor, you can add more canned pumpkin or pumpkin pie spice.
• honey or maple syrup – I’ve made this dip several times and I always prefer honey!
• pumpkin pie spice
• cinnamon
• vanilla extract

How to Make This Healthy Pumpkin Dip

We’re following the same method as we did for the vanilla cottage cheese fruit dip and chocolate cottage cheese pudding.

This pumpkin cottage cheese dip is the seasonal variation that you’ll turn to all fall – when pumpkin is on your mind.

Once it reaches your desired consistency, transfer the dip to a small bowl, ramekin or your serving vehicle of choice! I love to place it on a board with fun, crunchy things to dip into it. Or, even slather it on fresh, oven-baked banana pumpkin chocolate chip bread slices.

Storage

Store any leftover cottage cheese dip refrigerated in a tupperware or airtight container for up to three days.

The best “ready in minutes” fancy snack you’ll find. Make sure you share if you make it.
