Hip tips for making 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Pie Dip:
- Get creative with pumpkin dipper ideas! You can use graham crackers, Nilla wafers, Chessmen shortbread cookies, gingersnaps, broken waffle cones, sliced apples, etc.
- I used sugar-free pudding mix for this recipe, but you could use regular pudding mix if desired. Note that the sugar-free version comes in a 1 oz. size while the regular vanilla instant pudding is in a 3.4 oz. box. They are actually the same 4-serving size, but the sugar-free powder is just lighter than regular — use them interchangeably!
- Adding pumpkin pie spice makes this dip taste even more delish! If you don’t have any on hand, try putting together an easy DIY Pumpkin Spice Blend of your own. Trust me, you’ll be using it all season long!
- Make walking pumpkin pie packets! Spoon some of this mixture into snack-sized bags of Nilla wafers for individualized desserts! Speaking of walking desserts, be sure to try this one!

I made this the other day after my daughter and I tried and loved a very similar version from our grocer’s deli. At $5 a pound, though we’d better make our own, and it’s just as delicious!
Do you use the allready sweeten punkin in the can are just regular punkin
No just the unsweetened pumpkin purée
Thanks for posting, Collin!! Having a party next week and EASY is key! 🙂 (Picture appears to be the 100% pumpkin vs the pumpkin pie filling which is sweetened. I would imagine the cool whip and pudding sweeten it up plenty).
This looks delicious! I will be trying this next weekend. ☺️
I just made this last weekend!!! Delicious!!!!
I am going to try it with fat free cool whip & sugar free pudding;would more than likely still be good & less calories!
As a new diabetic, I want to find something tasty for the holidays. Your suggestion sounds great. Wonder how many calories? Serving size? But I am looking forward to trying this.
I make it sugar free, fat free all the time. It’s still delicious! Great for diabetics.
We made it with sugar free pudding and cool whip too. But we used Swerve to sweeten it some.
I made this but added some softened cream cheese too and blended it up… soooo good!
I wonder if this would be good with chocolate pudding.
Was it? I’m thinking the same thing.
I bet dipping graham crackers into this dip would be delicious!!
Use to make this all the time when I first got married — thanks for taking me back – YUM!
I’m going to find the sugar free jello & Cool whip and make this for my MIL who is diabetic- now I need to find something low-carb to go with it!
How about some fruit?
Great idea! I bet apples would work!
I love this dip with the Nyakers Gingersnap cookies from World Market. They are so good and come in a pretty tin.
Such a great idea!! Yum 🙂
I went to a party this weekend and the recipe was similar. Canned pumpkin, cool whip, vanilla yogurt and cinnamon. Follow the funfetti dip recipe for measurements (substitute the cake mix with canned pumpkin) but just add cinammon
FYI, that pumpkin roll of Lina’s that you see in the picture from last year is also wonderful.
Oh thanks Jennifer!
Could you use butterscotch pudding? What’s your thoughts before I ruin a good thing?
Hmm I think if you love butterscotch and you love pumpkin why not?! Ha sounds interesting! Let us know if you try 🙂
Can this be made a day ahead of time?
Yes. Keeps well in the fridge.
My daughter and I made this and it was great!!! Thank you for the recipes, this will be part of our Thanksgiving dinner 🙂
Awesome!
This is absolutely,amazingly delicious. It will be a new family staple.
This could be made with a light version for weight watchers ?
Yes perhaps sugar free pudding and cool whip light? Thanks!
Now that they’ve come out with a pumpkin spice pudding mix in recent years, do you think that would make it too pumpkin-y if I used it?!
Yes, I think that’d be yum, and maybe leave out any additional pumpkin spice seasoning, or taste it first before adding.
How many does this serve? I am wanting to make this for a fall party I am going to but there will be quite a few people there so I want to make sure I have enough.
I would say about six, maybe 8? It’s a nice sized bowl of dip.
How long does it stay good for after refrigerate
Should be good in the fridge covered for a couple days 👍
If I don’t have a mixer handy will it be okay to just stir it with a whisk?
Yes, I’m sure that’d work fine as well. Thanks!
We’ve been making this for years—sooooo good!
…especially with green apple slices!
Oh yum 😋 thanks Nell!
Lina D,
I want to thank you for your lovely presentations. Whether you are crafting or cooking and baking, you always give 150%!
Your style is beautiful, just as you
are!
Would you please tell us how you became this most important party of HIP2SAVE?
Thank you for your patience.
I follow this app several times a day.
I look forward to the holidaze and wish you peace and joy!
How sweet of you CJ! Thanks so much and I am equally excited about the holidays!
This is really good with the cinnamon scooby doo snacks too
yum! Thanks for sharing!
Also wonderful with “Teddy Grahams” (honey or cinamon) !
I hate Pumpkin. I’ve hated it all 43 years of my life. Last year my six year old neighbor made this for Thanksgiving and told me “you won’t know if you like it or not unless you try it”. Kid made a good point and I couldn’t argue. I tried it and love it! Still hate everything else pumpkin, but love this. You can really tastes the pudding in it.
Oh that’s good to know Lisa- thanks!
OMG!!!! I will not be making mini pumpkin pies anymore…this dip hits the mark…what a super easy delicious way to enjoy pumpkin!!! THANK YOU!!!🎃
Oh yay! I’m so glad you’re enjoying this! YUM!
I’m really surprised that people are still having parties and going to them. This is why my children can’t go to school full time and also have to wear a mask every time we leave the house. Thanks everyone
Oh this was originally posted years ago before COVID. Definely no parties for us either. 😩
Thanks for cleaning that up 👍
I used ginger snaps;) absolutely perfect!
Thanks!
And this is why there is a canned pumpkin shortage! 😉🤣 Seriously though stock up on canned pumpkin…
Can this be frozen & if so, thawing process?
Takes about 2 minutes to make so why would you make ahead?
Just wondering why it’s crossed out???
