Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip (For Ginger Snaps & Nilla Wafers!)

Well first let me apologize for not having a tantalizing picture to go with this yummy recipe. I wanted to take a picture, and charged my camera and everything, and then promptly forgot. Josh's mom had a Halloween dinner on Sunday, and asked us each to bring an orange food. This dip was recommended to me, and I decided to try it. I was pleased with the outcome. It was easy and tasty! Here it is:


Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip


2 C. Pumpkin Puree
1 C. Dark Brown Sugar
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger (I only used 1/4 tsp)
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1 (8 oz) Package Cream Cheese, softened
1 box of Ginger Snaps and/or Nilla Wafers Cookies

1. Using a mixer, whip cream cheese and pumpkin until creamy
2. Mix in sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger until well blended
3. Refridgerate Overnight


Serving Option (I did this, and it was fun and festive!):

Cut off the top of a small pumpkin and hollow out the inside. Pour dip into pumpkin and replace top. Refridgerate. When you are ready to serve, just pull out the pumpkin and place it on the serving tray with the cookies!
