Harvest Time Pumpkin Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Put the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue to beat on medium-high until very thick and fluffy. Transfer to a dip bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Right before serving, garnish with a border of ginger snaps. Serve with dippers.

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin pie spice and 1 1/2 cups of the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla and salt and beat until fully combined, 1 more minute. Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate, covered, 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Before serving, beat the cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Dollop the cream around the edge of the pie in a circle. Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon sugar.
• Serve with ginger cookies for dipping.

Steps:

• Let cream cheese stand at room temperature until softened. In a large bowl beat the cream cheese at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well.
• Stir in pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Serve immediately with gingersnaps for dipping, or cover and chill.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Cut pumpkins in half and scoop out seeds. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place pumpkins, flesh side down on the cookie sheet and roast until soft to the touch, about 45 minutes. Remove pumpkins from oven and let cool. Once pumpkins are cool scrape flesh from skins into a food processor. Discard skins.
• Add chicken stock to the pumpkin and puree. Pour soup into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in cream, nutmeg, sage and salt. Mix well and remove from heat. Serve garnished with a dollop of sour cream
