"Dipper" Ideas to go with Pumpkin Pie Dip

[ajrsmom]

Looks like Im going to my brother's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Im taking the Pumpkin Pie Dip that is featured in the "From the Homefront" newsletter this week.

It says to serve it with gingersnap cookies and apples. Since they live 2 hrs away, I dont want to take the apples and Im looking for other "dippers". Any ideas?

I will use the gingersnaps.


Here is the recipe for the Pumpkin Pie Dip

After doing some searching, I've come up with these dippers:

ginger snaps
mini cinnamon graham crackers
angelfood cake


There are others that could be used too....

apple slices
marshmallows
vanilla wafers
cubed pound cake



We are going to do a test run on this tonight so Ill let everyone know how it turns out!!

I made this recipe by the direction above and it turned out to be not thick enough for a dip.

In every other recipe that I've found for pumpkin pie dip, it called for powdered sugar to be added too......so I added some to this and it made the consistency better but it was too sweet for me---very good though!!


So, Here is what Im going to do when I make it next week....

Im going to start by mixing ROOM TEMP. cream cheese (8oz) with 1/3 of the pumpkin pie filling, plus the spices ( I used pumpkin pie spice). I used a hand mixer to get it really smooth. Ill add more pie filling until I reach the consistency that I want---it will thicken up a bit when its chilled. Im only going to add a little powdered sugar if I really need it.

This should work out fine!


We ate it with Ginger Snaps, Vanilla Wafers and cinnamon Graham Crackers. Overall, I think that the Vanilla Wafers were the best. If I could find a soft ginger cookie, they would be great too.

Im also going to cut up angelfood cake next time.

I bet that the apple slices would add a great crispness to this dip!!

It would also be good with Apple cinnamon bagels too.

Try some bagel chips and thin slices of mini loaveas of breads.
