Pumpkin Dip

Here is another great pumpkin recipe courtesy of Mardi Gras to Mistletoe from the Shreveport Jr League. I've served it as a dessert or an appetizer. It is a great snack too!! Serve with ginger snaps or apples. If you like softer cookies, buy the Betty Crocker gingerbread cake mix. There is a recipe on the back of the box for soft ginger snaps. (And that gingerbread cake is perfect for a fast dessert. I serve it with fat free whipped cream when it's warm.... mmmmmmmmm mmmmmm it's a good seasonal treat that is SUPER easy). Now back to the pumpkin dip.... It is served cold! Enjoy!


6 oz of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 t maple syrup
1/2 t ground cinnamon
Apple slices or ginger snaps


Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, and pumpkin in a mixing bowl and beat at medium speed until blended. Add the syrup and cinnamon and beat until smooth. Chill, covered, for 30 mintues.
