Pumpkin Pie Dip

It’s always fun getting together with the girls, especially with everybody’s busy schedule it definitely doesn’t happen nearly enough. I’ve known some of my best girlfriends for most of my life. They’re pretty much like my sisters. So it’s sad to realize how much time flies by between each dinner and outing, which is why I try to spend more time catching up then time in the kitchen prepping food while everybody is around.

A great recipe that’s quick and easy to prepare but perfect for such an event is the pumpkin pie dip. It literally only takes 5 mins to pull together, relatively healthy and light enough to still have room for a meal or other goodies later on. It also works well accompanying other tapas or appetizers. Something for everyone to nibble on while they catch up!

Note: It's also a great way to use up the extra pumpkin puree that's leftover from baking!

Ingredients:
1 8oz can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/4 cup brown sugar or confectioner’s sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
3 oz fat free Greek yogurt
8 oz cool whip or whipped cream
Apple slices
Ginger snap cookies
Preparation:
In a medium sized bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.

Fold in the greek yogurt and the cool whip (or whipped cream) until just combined.

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon overtop and serve with apple slices or ginger snap cookies.

Enjoy!
