- ½ cup (120 ml) powdered sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Whipping: Blend cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and lump-free, creating a velvety base for the dip.
- Flavor Fusion: Seamlessly integrate pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon into the cream cheese, whisking until the mixture achieves a uniform, rich consistency.
- Aeration: Gently fold in whipped topping, maintaining the light, ethereal texture while ensuring all ingredients are perfectly combined.

Notes
- Whip with Precision: Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free base that blends effortlessly and creates a velvety texture.
- Fold Gently: Incorporate whipped topping with a light, folding motion to preserve the airy volume and prevent deflating the delicate mixture.
- Spice Balance: Adjust pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon to personal taste, starting with small amounts and gradually increasing for a perfectly balanced autumn flavor profile.
- Chill for Depth: Allow the dip to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, enabling the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a more complex and rich taste experience.
