Ingredients You’ll Need

Each ingredient in this Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip plays a unique and important role, from creating that irresistible creamy base to bringing those warm, nostalgic spices. There’s nothing complicated here—just simple pantry gems working together for the ultimate snacking experience.

Vanilla Coconut Yogurt: This keeps the dip lusciously creamy while adding a hint of tropical sweetness—and it keeps everything dairy free!
Pumpkin Puree: The star of the show, giving the dip its signature autumn color and flavor (make sure to use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling).
Almond Butter: This thickens the dip and gives it a mild nuttiness—feel free to swap for peanut, sunflower, or cashew butter to suit allergies or taste.
Honey or Maple Syrup: Choose your favorite natural sweetener for just the right caramel note; maple syrup makes it fully vegan.
Vanilla Extract: Just a splash deepens the flavor for that classic pie taste—don’t skip it!
Pumpkin Pie Spice: This blend is the “secret sauce,” infusing every bite with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cheerful autumn warmth.
Cinnamon: An extra hit of cinnamon makes the dip even cozier and more fragrant.

How to Make Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip

Step 1: Combine All the Ingredients

Gather up your ingredients and scoop them right into a medium mixing bowl—no need to be fancy, just toss in the coconut yogurt, pumpkin puree, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Using a hand mixer gives the dip an extra silky, fluffy texture, but a sturdy whisk and some muscle power will work just fine too.

Step 2: Whip Until Smooth

Blend the mixture on medium speed until everything’s utterly smooth and luscious, with no lumps of nut butter lingering behind. You’re looking for a texture that feels like thick, whipped pudding—if it’s a little too thick, stir in a spoonful or two more yogurt to reach your perfect consistency.

Step 3: Chill the Dip

Transfer your bowl of Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least one hour. This time in the fridge not only allows all those spices and vanilla notes to meld, but it also helps the dip thicken to an ultra-creamy texture that’s scoopable and dreamy.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Right before you’re ready to serve, give the dip a quick stir and top with an extra sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for a little flair. Pair it up with your favorite dippers—apple slices, cinnamon sugar chips, or grain-free churro strips if you’re feeling festive!

How to Serve Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip

Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip Garnishes

The magic is in the finishing touches! Dust the top with a bit more pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon for color and aroma. For special occasions, a few pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or a pinch of flaky sea salt can add crunch and a beautiful visual pop.

Side Dishes

This dip loves to be the life of the party surrounded by fresh apple or pear slices, crispy graham crackers, or super-addictive cinnamon pita chips. If you’re keeping it extra wholesome, carrot sticks and celery are surprisingly delicious for that sweet-salty crunch combo.

Creative Ways to Present

If you want to impress, scoop your Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip into a hollowed mini pumpkin or a pretty glass dish for instant seasonal vibes. For individual servings, try small mason jars topped with granola or a single apple chip—perfect for picnics, lunchboxes, or festive gatherings on the go.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Your Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip will keep like a charm in the fridge for up to four days. Store it in an airtight container and give it a good stir before serving, as natural separation can occur.

Freezing

While the dip is best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze it for up to a month. Just spoon it into a freezer-safe container, seal well, and thaw overnight in the fridge when ready to serve. Give it a thorough whisk to restore its creamy consistency.

Reheating

No reheating necessary—this dip is meant to be served chilled! If you find it’s too stiff right from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes and stir until it’s back to that whipped, creamy state.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of yogurt?

Absolutely! While vanilla coconut yogurt gives luscious texture and flavor, any unsweetened or vanilla-flavored plant-based yogurt will work. Almond, soy, or oat yogurt are all fantastic dairy-free options. Just make sure it’s thick enough to keep your dip from going runny.

Is Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip vegan?

Yes, it can be! Use maple syrup instead of honey, and ensure your yogurt and nut butter are fully plant-based. Just like that, your dip is both vegan and allergy-friendly.

What can I use instead of almond butter?

If nut allergies are a concern—or you just want a different taste—you can swap in sunflower seed butter or cashew butter. Peanut butter also works in a pinch, but it’ll add more of its signature flavor, so be sure you’re a fan!

How do I adjust the sweetness?

If you prefer a less sweet dip, start with two tablespoons of sweetener and taste before adding more. The natural sugars in the yogurt and pumpkin make it easy to customize to your liking, especially if you pair it with sweet dippers.

Can I double the recipe for a party?

Of course! This Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie Dip is a total crowd-pleaser and easily scales up for larger gatherings. Simply double (or even triple) the ingredients, and mix up a big batch to keep everyone dipping happily.
