Pumpkin Dip

This is a super popular recipe in the blogosphere every fall but I had yet to make it until this year. It's like pumpkin pie or pumpkin cheesecake in a dip. It's perfect if you want the taste of a yummy pumpkin dessert but without having to make a cake or pie. Definitely a perfect dish to take to Halloween or Thanksgiving parties. Serve with ginger snaps or sliced apples. Recipe from Closet Cooking.

Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature (I used reduced fat)

1 cup brown sugar

2 cups canned pumpkin

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

Cream the cream cheese in the mixer. Mix in the sugar followed by the spices and then the pumpkin. Cover and chill overnight in the fridge.

Servings: roughly 6

Points: 5 (when made with reduced fat cream cheese and not including ginger snaps or apples)
