WHY IS THIS RECIPE UNIQUE?
Let’s be honest: pumpkin desserts are great. We really only enjoy them for a few months of the year, so let’s try to take advantage of the season! While there are nights I will take advantage of indulging in the real-deal pumpkin desserts, I like that this recipe is made with healthier ingredients and is the perfect solution for the pumpkin craving. Unlike typical creamy dips that are made with cream cheese, this one is lightened up with greek yogurt. It has more protein and less fat, but tastes just as delicious as any pumpkin dip!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
I try to make all of my recipes as easy and simple as possible. This recipe only has 6 ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Vanilla greek yogurt – This is important to make the dip creamy! Using greek yogurt will add protein as well. A single-serving container of vanilla greek yogurt is the perfect size for this recipe.
- Pumpkin puree – A scoop of pumpkin puree is going to be the star of the recipe for this healthy pumpkin dip. Mixed with the greek yogurt, the pumpkin will add creaminess to the dip as well.
- Cool whip – Adding this ingredient will make the dip more fluffy.
- Vanilla – A little bit of vanilla will create add more sweetness to the recipe.
- Cinnamon – Most fall recipes contain a little bit of cinnamon, which is why we’re adding some to this recipe!
- Pumpkin pie spice – Because we’re embracing pumpkin pie, pumpkin pie spice is definitely going into the dip!
CAN I MAKE SUBSTITUTIONS TO THIS RECIPE?
I haven’t tested many of the ingredient swaps, but I would bet you can make the necessary changes based on your dietary needs and available ingredients. Here are a few ideas you can try:
- Greek Yogurt – Using greek yogurt will add more protein and less fat to the recipe. Typically, a dip like this uses cream cheese for the base, and you’re more than welcome to use that if you would prefer. If you’re dairy-free, you could use a plain DF yogurt substitute.
- Cool Whip Lite – You can use any type of whipped topping for this recipe. If you prefer not to add any, the recipe will still work okay as well.
- Pumpkin & Pumpkin Pie Spice – I would recommend keeping these for this recipe if you’re wanting it to taste as close to pumpkin pie as possible.
- For a Sweeter Recipe: If you try this healthy pumpkin dip isn’t sweet enough for your liking, try adding cool whip or another sweetener like stevia or honey.
