Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip

Pumpkin is yummy beyond words. The EE kitchen uses this quintesential fall fruit in savory and sweet concoctions. The sweet dip we're featuring today surprises most people willing to give it a try. It has been described as both surprising and addictive. Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip is great on a buffet or as a special dessert treat.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip

16 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz. unsalted butter, softened
15 oz. pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon allspice

In an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, butter, and pumpkin until well blended.
On low speed add sugars, extract, and spices.
Place pumpkin dip in a covered container. Refrigerate until serving time.
Serve with cinnamon graham crackers or apple slices (lemon wash to prevent browning).
