This Cheesecake Pumpkin Maple Dip is a sweet creamy dipper for sliced pears, apples, pretzels and gingersnaps in the fall. Cream cheese, pumpkin puree and maple syrup whip together with cinnamon for an irresistibly sweet and creamy treat!
So fall is upon us and I’m not exactly complaining. Then again I don’t have to do the raking. Yeah, we’ve got some towering oaks in our backyard, probably a hundred feet high and a hundred years old. Maybe older. Thankfully I have four boys and one husband who take care of that labor intensive job. And guess how many bags “we” rake from our backyard?
Nope. More.
Fifty-five lawn & leaf bagfuls every fall on our postage stamp lot. It’s crazy.
Thankfully my crew is happy if I make a Dunkins’ run at some point during the raking marathon. The leaves haven’t started falling yet, they’re still making the pretty colors. All of New England is ablaze with color and the reflections in the ponds and lakes everywhere are gorgeous.
So here’s a quick fallish treat: Cheesecake Pumpkin Maple Dip. It’s fast and easy. Tastes like fall. Works great with a variety of dippers. Just five minutes to a delicious dip that’s company worthy. The perfect quick treat when you need a little something sweet and yummy but don’t have time to bake.
Pairs great with crisp apple slices or pretzels. Cider donuts. Biscotti. Even my Gingersnaps. (Ok. Especially the gingersnaps.)
This Cheesecake Pumpkin Maple Dip is made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. All you need are five minutes and five ingredients: cream cheese, canned pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon.
Whip the cream cheese ’til smooth then stir in the remaining ingredients. That’s it! Whip up a batch and keep on hand for fall entertaining.

Catherine says
Dear Allie, I am embarrassed to tell you my first guess at how many leaf bags you end up with. I would never have guessed fifty! My goodness!! This pumpkin maple dip sounds wonderful..a perfect way to get into the spirit of Fall and all the labor that comes with it. I love the idea of dunking ginger snaps in it…this could be dangerous for me. xoxo, Catherine

This is the perfect nod to the Fall season. I am a maple lover, but add pumpkin and just wow!
Joanie @ Zagleft says
This dip looks incredibly delicious and easy to make too. I sure wish I lived in a part of the country where the leaves change this early. Here in Houston, it’s quite warm still but maybe around late November, we’ll have our Fall. I’m craving Fall flavors and will be trying this recipe soon.
Linda Jenkins says
Yummy! I can hardly wait to make this. I know it will be a hit.
Karen @ On the Banks of Salt Creek says
Joshua, reading over my shoulder, just informed me that I will be making this today! I agree with him.
Enjoy the weekend, I wish we had all the fall colors that New England is famous for.
Hugs,

Allie, this looks delicious! I think this would be a great little appetizer to set out at Thanksgiving too when folks start showing up. We just bought our first house on a lot with zero trees and everyone kept saying to us when they saw the house “well, at least you won’t have to rake…” ha!
Barbara Child says
Hard to believe so many leaves around your house!j I’m sure they’ll enjoy this yummy sounding dip in between bags!

Kelly @ Mostly Homemade Mom says
We have two little boys, 6 and 4, and a third due any day now. I CAN’T WAIT until they can do the yard work – haha! Among other things around the house… This pumpkin dip is absolutely perfect for fall!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
I do love the fall so much! And this dip…I just want the bowl and a spoon please!!!
Aunt Margie says
Today we expect temperatures in the mid-90s! Hardly fair, but I swooned over those fall colors, minus the raking, and then turned serious! Somersaults in leaf piles and easy peasy cheesy pumpkin dip swirled with maple syrup might be just the ticket to import the fall! A sweet trip down memory lane!

Yummy
Aunt Pinkie says
This looks soooo good! Our maple trees are looking gorgeous!
Shashi at RunninSrilankan says
OH WOW! Allie, when I first read the title of this post and saw that first photo, I never imagined that this level of deliciousness only required a few ingredients! Wow! I can so imagine how good this tasted with your ginger snaps! Fuel for mind and body when raking is involved!
I have a huge silver maple in my front yard – the first year my daughter and I moved, we’d rake and rake and rake our rakes away (literally) every fall – then the second year, I made a giant “island” around that Maple – now we just rake the few leaves that don’t fall into the island into it – talk about lazy eh?! But – hey, I can still have this dip even though I cut down my raking time – right? 🙂
I hope you have been having a wonderful week, sweet friend xoxo
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
Well you know I’m not the biggest fan of pumpkin, but seriously I think this dip might make me a convert. Cream cheese, maple, cinnamon AND brown sugar?!? YES YES YESSSSS! I just want to face plant into a big ole bowl of this heavenly dip! I bet this tastes amazing with EVERYTHING! Now THIS is fall! Cheers, lovely! xoxo
Tracy says
Wow! That is crazy…..55 bags!! I’m very glad you have the boys to get those leaves picked up. This dip looks and sounds simply delicious. Everyone can use a new EASY delicious dip recipe. I know I can. My boys love anything pumpkin. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks Allie!!!
Carina says
Update: This has quickly become my favourite home-made dip for autumn. So easy and soooo delicious! Thanks for this one, Allie! (Ps: That is a LOT of bags!! Those trees must be glorious…I love autumn colours.) XOXO
Adina says
I’ve never had a pumpkin dip before, it sounds delicious, I love pumpkin. And I envy you for your helping boys and husband. My boy is too little and my husband couldn’t care less how many leaves lay in front of the house. We have two identical huge trees (one planted with the house in 1879, the second one 1 year later as the first male child was born in the house) that lose their leaves at different times though, one is yellow and has already started, the other one is green and will start as soon as the first has no leaves anymore… I hate leaf raking…

Pumpkin + cheesecake + maple = a dip? Love how dreamy creamy this fall looks. Cinnamon and maple flavors go so well together. Wish I could also enjoy this dip.
