Easy Recipes With Pumpkin And Fall Flavors

Fall season is bursting with all kinds of pumpkin dishes, and we really can’t complain. After all, who doesn’t want a taste of the classic Creamy Pumpkin Soup and even a thirst-quenching Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. 

It’s not surprising why most of the dishes served during this season are pumpkin-flavored since it’s around this time that the orange plants are harvested. In America, pumpkin season is around September and October, making them a staple ingredient during those months.

Though they may not look it, pumpkins are a close relative of cucumbers and watermelons. A type of squash, pumpkins are popular for their orange color, versatile flavor, and hearty feel. They’re great ingredients for lunch and dinner, and most especially dessert! 

When Halloween and Thanksgiving roll around, there’s almost no part of the pumpkin that’s left unused. Their bodies are either carved out to make jack-o-lanterns or filled in to make Herb Stuffed Pumpkins. 

Meanwhile, their seeds are used to make yummy snacks like Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Seeds. But perhaps the most loved part of the pumpkin is its flesh! The tasty orange pulp of pumpkin is pureed and used as a filling for delicious pumpkin pie, cheesecakes, and even dips!

Tips for Making Terrific Pumpkin Dip

Before you go ahead and start making this recipe, we have a few tips for you to keep in mind. First, make sure your cream cheese is softened and at room temperature before using. Doing so makes it fluffy when mixed in for this recipe. If not at room temperature, you may end up with a lumpy dip, and not a creamy one. 

Tip: If you have a small pumpkin lying around, you can hollow it out and use it to hold your dip for a more authentic Thanksgiving feel.

Second, make sure the powdered sugar is fresh and free from any clumps before mixing. And lastly, if you don’t happen to have an electric mixer, you can always just mix it by hand. You can also save yourself the trouble by making it in advance. Just store it in an airtight container, covered, then place in the refrigerator the day or night before Thanksgiving dinner.
