Ingredients Notes
- Cream cheese: Be sure to soften the cream cheese to room temperature. Use full fat cream cheese to keep the rich and creamy texture.
- Powdered sugar: You can also use a packet of instant vanilla pudding instead of the powdered sugar.
- Pumpkin puree: Make sure to use a canned pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin pie mix. You can easily make your own pumpkin puree when fresh pumpkins are in season. Cut up one small sugar pumpkin, remove the seeds, and bake the pumpkin pieces at 375° F for one hour on a large baking pan covered with foil. Once soft, remove the pumpkin from the oven and allow the pieces to cool. Place pumpkin in a food processor and purée until smooth.
- Pumpkin Pie spice: You can mix ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice in similar proportions.
- Whipped topping or cool whip: You can use homemade whipped cream if you prefer.

Pro Tips
