Holiday Rewind: Pumpkin Dip

This is the last post of the holiday rewind! I have to admit, this recipe was a Pintrest find. It was extremely easy to make (seriously, less than ten minutes), and it basically tasted like softened pumpkin pie ice cream. It's great for parties, and it's dangerously snackable. I made this as part of some pre-Thanksgiving dinner snacks and the family seemed to really enjoy it, especially my son. Since the holidays are packed with tons of sweet treats as it is, it was nice to have a lighter alternative dessert for my son. He still got a sweet treat without the major sugar crash so it was a win win for all of us!



Pumpkin Dip

Ingredients:
1 can of pumpkin (15oz)
1 box of instant vanilla pudding (5oz. Just the powder. Don't make the pudding!)
1 container of cool whip (16oz)
1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

Mix pumpkin, pudding mix, cool whip, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl.

Chill for 2-3 hours before serving.

Sprinkle with cinnamon just before serving. Serve with fresh fruit slices, vanilla wafers, and/or ginger snaps.
