Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip

Dips are great for entertaining guests

because they are usually easy and can be made ahead. Dessert dips are even

better! This is a super simple dip that people will love and will ask for the

recipe. It's also made with lowfat ingredients and everyone knows pumpkin is

healthy :). I'm sure that you can come up with even more ideas of dippers to

serve it with than I can!

I took this dip to a get together last

night and I think it went over really well since it was almost completely gone

when the get together was over. Also, my husband was really excited when he

came home from work and saw it in the refrigerator, and he didn't even know

what it was. It makes a pretty presentation and of course it tastes good too! I

• served it with chocolate graham crackers and cinnamon graham crackers, but you
• may like it with big marshmallows, apple slices, or pretzel sticks. The
• possibilities are endless when it comes to dipping food in dips. Some small
• snickerdoodles may be nice or even vanilla wafers. So try it and let me know
• what you think! I would love to hear your thoughts :)
