Pumpkin Pie Dip with Pie Crust Dippers
This Pumpkin Pie Dip tastes just like pumpkin pie! Serve with homemade Pie Crust Dippers and extra whipped cream. A perfect fall dessert.
Note: I recommend letting the finished dip rest for at least an hour (overnight is best) so all the flavours have a chance to meld together.
