This post is the crossroads of my teacher self and my blogger self.
You have some homework.
You need to make this glorious trio of pumpkin, cream cheese, and heavy whipping cream and bring it to a party. For me, a party is usually me and Bjork hanging out on a Tuesday night. But you can do whatever you want.
There are a few rules, because I’m the teacher.
You have to eat this pumpkin dip with gingersnaps. Translation: you need to put an XL (xtra large), XF (xtra fluffy) dollop of pumpkin dip on top of each cookie, and then do it again 50x.
One last rule. Drizzle maple syrup and crumble gingersnaps on top of the bowl, because it’s more fun to look at in the 2 minutes before it gets devoured.
Assignment due ASAP.

Heavy whipping cream is so dangerous in my fridge. So. So. Dangerous.
I love living dangerously.
Youāre a very clever girl š
Why thank you. š
This looks SO SO good. Iām afraid I would fail the assignment because I would eat this all myself!
Thatās pretty much how it goes around here, too. š
Make this for a party? Not a chance. The first time I had this, my boss and I went to the break room to get coffee. It was on the table. We sat and had an impromptu āmeetingā while we just about devoured the entire bowl. I love this stuff. I also love the idea of drizzling maple syrupā¦.yum.
Haha.. so true! We had a ton left over, because I made way too much. Not a bad thing, if you ask me!
Mmmm, my mom made a very similar dip last year for a partyā it was delicious! We served ours in a little pumpkin š
CUTE!
Yummm! I might be heading to a Halloween gathering (with lots of kids) and this would be perfect!
Lots of kids? Now you have me curious!
This looks awesomeā¦..
Pumpkin pie is my 2nd favorite to pecan..
now.. can you figure out how to turn pecan pie into a dip??
Oh my gosh that would be so good. Iāll work on it. š
I love this! Pumpkin pie flavors + maple + gingersnap sounds like the best combo in the world! Iām keeping my fingers crossed for some dinner parties so I donāt just make it and eat all myself!
Eating it all by yourself isnāt as bad as it sounds. š
had this combo over the weekend. didnāt even know this was a thingā¦SO GOOD!
Itās definitely a thing.
This is a standard at any Halloween party my girlfriends and I have. But, we use graham crackers. Never actually thought of gingersnaps, but actually sounds better than grahams!
I thought of graham crackers but the gingersnaps at the grocery store distracted me. I bet cinnamon sugar grahams would be great!
This is great! So simple ā yet inventive! I really cannot get enough pumpkin right now!
Same. I had to stop myself from posting all pumpkin recipes this week.
Perfect for me! I just bought some gingersnaps the other day and have so manyā¦this is so easy! Thanks for posting, definitely gonna stop by for the ingredients after work!
Awesome! I love when that happens.
holy. crap. yes.
I bet this dip would be great on gingersnaps, and then some!
That sounds delicious and perfect for a holiday party.
Not only does the dip and snaps look good, your nails look good! š
One word: Photoshop. š
Iām going to a party this weekendā¦ I may need to bring this as my offering. š
I have a feeling your offering will be well received. š
I like this kind of homework!
Good. š I like giving this kind of homework.
This is very similar to the pumpkin fluff recipe I like to make. I like to dip apples and ginger snaps in the pumpkin fluff too!

Yep, we had some honey crisp apples with it, too!
This dip looks yummy!
I made a pumpkin spread for bagels, but never thought to dip cookies into it! Genius!
Oh my goodness, pumpkin spread for bagels? Searching for that recipe now.
Yum. This could be seriously deadly. I can see myself eating gingersnaps like potato chips with this bowl of heaven at my side.
I bet I could eat this without the cookie š This would be a great dip for a party! I have to make a dish to bring this weekend, this might just be the one!
I definitely put a spoonful or two into my oatmeal. What?
:O in oatmeal ā ā what a fabulous idea!!
Dessert for breakfast (disguised as oats) is always a good idea. š
Totally agree with this! I made a version of your dip this weekend and put a small bowl aside for me ā served this over some oatmeal pancakes and again with a scone!
I can totally handle this assignment š This dip looks fantastic!
Extra credit for doubling the batch and eating it all immediately?
Absolutely. And a gold star, too!
