Pumpkin Dip

Remember all these little pumpkins I used for place card holders at Thanksgiving? Well, they're still good. I put them in a bag and placed them in the garage because it's cool down there.

I hate wasting stuff so I've been wondering what to do with them? Well, now I know!

A co-worker suggested roasting all the little pumpkins and freezing it for later and/or make her pumpkin dip!

She brought some to work yesterday and it was delish with fruit and gingersnaps! I know she won't mind me sharing her recipe so here it goes!
Pumpkin Dip
1 can(2 cups)pumpkin
1 8ox. pkg cream cheese(softened)
2 cups confectioners sugar
1tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp nutmeg
(other spices to taste if uncanned pumpkin such as pumpkin pie spice)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend!
Wah-Lah!
Of course I won't be doing this until we get back from our trip because I couldn't imagine eating all that dip in two days!!

  3. Pumpkin dip?! Genius. I don't know if they'll last all year so you'll have to do something. And I have no ideas for you... ;)

  5. My MIL made this dip for Thanksgiving and it was really good. Especially with the ginger snaps! I'd never had pumpkin dip before. Good thinking!!

  6. I have a pumpkin cheesecake ball recipe that is similar, however, you mix it together, roll in a ball and refridge until set. So good with graham cracker sticks.
