Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce / 226 gram) block cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (see note)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch kosher salt

Equipment

Instructions

  • Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer), mix cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to pumpkin.
  • Mix everything together until full combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl a couple times.
  • Serve immediately or chill until ready to use. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe makes about 1 ½ cups, which is equal to 12 servings (2 tablespoons each).
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can use just cinnamon (start with 1 teaspoon), or you can make your own spice blend using:
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
 
While you can definitely eat the spread right away, I recommend preparing this recipe at least an hour or two in advance. That way, the spread has a chance to chill and the flavors have time to develop. Bonus: this recipe is less firm than regular cream ... it's smooth, creamy, and spreadable straight from the refrigerator!
