Creamy, rich, tangy, no-bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip is piped onto sweet little toasted waffles for a fun, easy, holiday dessert!
I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for new (easy to fit into the chaos) desserts for Thanksgiving dinner.
Yes, classic pumpkin pie always makes an appearance, but I won’t lie… I buy my pumpkin pie at the store. It’s just too easy and cheap to buy.
I save my Thanksgiving desserts energy for more creative and fun things. I like to change things up and push people’s holiday tastes and memories outside of the norm.
So, I have made this pumpkin cheesecake dip many times before, but I decided to take it a step further and make it a fancy little 2-bite dessert, using cute little toasted Eggo mini-waffles as a crust.
Super cute and easy to throw together… And yay for something new on the holiday table!
What are your favorite desserts for Thanksgiving? Do you always make/serve/eat the same things? Or do you like to change things up each year??
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin purée
- 1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar*
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- Eggo mini-waffles
Directions
In a large mixer bowl, cream together everything except the waffles until light and fluffy (using the paddle attachment). Spoon this mixture into a gallon ziploc bag and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days, taking it out about 30 minutes before you are ready to serve it.
When it's almost time to serve the cheesecakes, toast the mini-waffles, well done. Separate them and place them on a serving tray.
Cut off one corner of the ziploc bag of cheesecake and pipe a generous dollop onto each waffle. Sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon over the top, for garnish, and serve!
(*I like to keep this cheesecake dip a little on the less-sweet side, since the dippers and whipped cream are sweetened also. Feel free to add a bit more sugar, to taste, if you like things sweeter!)
