Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip

[heart_this] · Oct 26, 2015 · 45 Comments

Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip

All of the flavours of a pumpkin cheesecake in dip form sweetened with plenty of caramel sauce!

With all of the pumpkin recipes these days I could not help but think of one of my favourites, this caramel pumpkin cheesecake dip! Yes, that’s right, all of the flavours of a caramel pumpkin cheesecake in the form of a dip that literally only takes 10 minutes to make! Cheesecake has to be one of these best desserts around and it only gets better when you add the flavours of pumpkin pie but lets face it, a nice cheesecake takes a bit of time and effort to make, and this dip takes almost no effort so you can whip it up on demand whether for last minute guests or just for yourself for some late night comfort cravings! When I make a pumpkin pie or a pumpkin pie cheesecake I like to use a gingersnap crumb crust because the ginger flavour goes so well with pumpkin so when I make this dip I add that gingersnap flavour either by using the ginger snap cookies for dipping or just crumbling them on top! If you’re looking for a snack or appetizer for halloween or Thanksgiving, or for any time for that matter, you really can’t go wrong with this caramel pumpkin cheesecake dip!

    This is my first year actually attempting to use fresh pumpkin and making my own puree, and I love the idea of presenting the dip in a hollowed-out pumpkin!

    So charming, and I bet the dip goes great with ginger snaps.

    such a great idea Kevin and I love the fact that you've used the pumpkin for the bowl… i've seen this done with soups before but never with dips so I can now 'borrow' this from you and show it on my blog in the UK and wow everyone! It's halloween coming up soon and there are plenty of pumpkins around! Thanks again for a great blog x

    I just made this and it's delicious! May I suggest, though, that it turns out better if you first process the cream cheese till very smooth, them cream in the sugar, then add the other ingredients. Also, if you want to reduce carbs or are out of brown sugar, you can substitute 1 C Splenda plus 2 T blackstrap molasses.

    I tried out this recipe and did not enjoy it. I think it may have called for too much ginger, it did not remind me of pumpkin pie. To anyone making this, I would try out just 1/4 tsp first.

  1. 21 Delicious Thanksgiving Appetizer Ideas For Holidays! says:
    October 30, 2022 at 2:01 pm

    […] Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are just knocking at the door and with that happening, I have a lot of holiday ideas in my mind. I have to decorate the house, buy a lot of gifts and… how can I forget about food! I throw parties ritualistically every year and we all sit by the fireplace, sing carols while taking sips of wine and eating good food. And who doesn’t love a good dessert? So here’s a shortcut dessert recipe that I make for Thanksgiving every year. It’s a caramel cheesecake pumpkin dip. You just need to combine pumpkin pie mix, cream cheese, cool whip and caramel sauce and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. And it’s ready to serve. I like to use homemade caramel sauce but you can use store-bought as well. Make sure, you drizzle a generous amount of that caramel sauce over the dip when you serve it.Click here. […]
