For the last feature of Pumpkin Monday, we’ll close out with the EASIEST three-ingredient Pumpkin Dip.  This is so fast to whip up!  You can refrigerate it to let it firm up, but we also found it delicious immediately!

I came upon this recipe on Pinterest where there were LOTS of variations, and then I added my own touch to it by having to improvise.  The recipe calls for Cool Whip, which would work great.  I had fresh whipping cream on hand…and that’s never a bad thing!  I whipped up the cream with about 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar and it was perfect!  This would be a great appetizer before Thanksgiving, or even as one of the desserts!  It would be so easy to keep these three ingredients on hand so you could pull a fast treat together in a snap!

Here’s the simple recipe:

Pumpkin Dip

1 -15 oz. can pumpkin puree
1 -8 oz. container Cool Whip, thawed – (Or use 1 pint Whipping cream sweetened with 2-4 Tbl.  Powdered sugar)
1 package 1.5 oz. Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional, but adds great flavor!)

Directions: Cream together all ingredients with an electric mixer until well combined and fluffy. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Serve with Vanilla Wafers, Cookies, or Graham Crackers.

I love entertaining in the fall because you can really keep things simple.  Why not host dinner and serve a great salad, an award-winning (but easy) soup, purchased rolls and this Pumpkin Dip and coffee for dessert?
