Savory Pumpkin-Cream Cheese Dip

Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree or well-drained pumpkin mash
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tsp lemon juice or cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp chopped pumpkin seeds, optional
Instructions
  1. 1
    Beat the cream cheese smooth, then blend in the pumpkin and remaining ingredients. Chill for at least 30 minutes so it firms and the flavors settle.
  2. 2
    If the pumpkin is watery, drain it first in a fine sieve or cheesecloth for 20–30 minutes. That’s better than reaching immediately for starch.
  3. 3
    If it still needs thickening, I’d use potato starch over tapioca here, and only a tiny amount — around 1/2 tsp, mixed in thoroughly. Tapioca can make cold dips a little gummy or stretchy.
