I love pumpkin flavored items.
I don’t like Pumpkin Pie.
So, I struggle every year because I want to have a piece of pumpkin pie, but I know as soon as I do, I won’t like it.
(It’s a texture thing…I know, I’m weird.)
But I hit PAY DIRT when a girlfriend brought this Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie Dip for a gathering a year or so ago. It was all the yumminess of pumpkin pie without all the strange textures. Plus, I could place as much or as little dip on my graham crackers as I wanted. BIG PUMPKIN or SMALL PUMPKIN, it was my choice.
Also, this recipe is so adaptable. Even though the recipe below details the MACK-DADDY CALORIE version, you can easily make a couple of substitutes and lessen the fat and calories without giving up the taste.
