Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Base
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Toppings
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Serving
- Graham crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Pumpkin Base: In a medium bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the mini chocolate chips into the pumpkin mixture gently to distribute them evenly without melting.
- Spread Mixture: Transfer and spread the pumpkin mixture evenly into a small oven-safe baking dish or skillet, creating an even layer.
- Add Marshmallows: Evenly scatter the mini marshmallows over the top of the pumpkin mixture, covering the surface for a gooey topping.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn golden brown and melted.
- Cool Slightly: Carefully remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to avoid burning and to let it set a bit.
- Serve: Serve the warm Pumpkin S’mores Dip immediately with graham crackers for dipping and enjoy the comforting combination of flavors.
Notes
- For a stronger pumpkin spice flavor, add a bit more pumpkin pie spice or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture; low-fat options can make it less creamy.
- Make sure not to overbake the marshmallows to keep them gooey rather than overly crispy.
- This dip is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
