Fresh Spiced Pumpkin Dip
Fresh Spiced Pumpkin Dip is a sweet Fall treat and so versatile – use it as a dip or as a spread on toast ~ serve warm or cold !
This fresh Spiced Pumpkin Dip is one of my favorite dips of all time.
It is also so versatile, if we don’t use it as a dip, we spread the Spiced Pumpkin on toast – delicious breakfast !
I usually make a double, or even triple batch and place the leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Not sure how long it lasts, as we finish this delicious dip/spread within a day or two.
I prefer it served just warm to the touch as a dip, but spread cold on a slice of wholewheat brown toast.
You can also dry cook the Spiced Pumpkin to the degree of your preference.
Mine changes with each batch and sometimes I would remove some, to use as is, and continue to dry cook the remaining Pumpkin in the saucepan.
For the dip, I like it to be slightly syrupy. More gooey with a light syrup which forms around the sides of the serving bowl.
That bit of syrup is amazing and to my meaning the best part – soak a cookie, bite and you’ll think you are in heaven!

Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin peeled and cut into large chunks
- ¼ cup Apple Juice
- 1 t Pumpkin Pie Spice
- ⅓ cup Sugar
- ⅛ t Salt
- Chocolate Chips to top (optional)
Instructions
- Place the Pumpkin, Apple Juice, Spice and Sugar in a medium saucepan with a lid – bring to the boil, then lower the heat to medium and simmer 25 – 30 minutes until just tender. (stir frequently)
- Remove the lid and cook, stirring continuously until all of the liquid has evaporated
- Mash the Pumpkin and keep on cooking over low heat until you are satisfied with the consistency (here you can dry cook the Pumpkin as much or as little as you prefer)
- Taste and if necessary add a pinch of Salt – stir and spoon into a serving bowl if serving warm (or let it cool completely and then spoon into a serving bowl if serving cold)
Top with Chocolate Chips, if using, and serve with a variety of cookies and wafers. I like to serve the dip with mini Ginger Snap cookies and mini Tennis biscuits.

Great idea to spread on toast for breakfast. I think I would like it spread on pancakes in place of syrup too.
Thank you for sharing, Linda.

You know I have a freezer full of pumpkin just waiting for me to make this!
Linda – this sounds wonderful! I have really gotten into making more pumpkin things in the fall since finding so many good recipes (like this one) through pinterest in the last couple of years. I am looking forward to trying this one out soon.
I still can't get the idea of pumpkin as a dessert, it's only ever eaten savoury here but your dip looks lovely.
This looks delicious, Linda! Pinning so that I'll remember to try this. 🙂
Stopping in to say G'Day and pin your delicious recipe. Would love for you to stop by over at Foodie Fridays going on now at Pure Grace Farms and share too. Thanks Linda and have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
