When it comes to fall, are you a pumpkin person or an apple person? Me? Well, I’m a chips-and-dip-all-year kind of person. I do love apples (looking right at you, Pink Ladies). However, if you give me pumpkin, then I want some whipped cream to go with it. If you offer me pie, then I’ll take the crust and a dollop of ice cream to match. But I’m not obsessed with pumpkin or pies or even pumpkin pies. Unless they are in the form of Chocolate-Frosted Paleo Pumpkin Brownies, Paleo Pumpkin Pie Smoothie, or today’s Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip. Spriteds, it’s love, true, blue, and through.
And while I totally think of this as a party snack, K-Hubs loves to take Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip to work because it’s comfortably filling. Not too little, not too much, and he isn’t starving by 3:00 p.m. I mean, honestly, yes, that’s quite possibly one of the most important factors in one’s day. The whole mid-afternoon-it’s-not-lunch-it’s-not-dinner-can-I-take-a-nap-now-and-not-be-up-all-night-also-I-need-a-snack conundrum.
So here’s to snacks that party with us when we want, keep us full when we need, and go with all things fall because we like!
Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip ingredients
I have a few versions of these ingredients that I think work particularly well in this recipe, so let me share them here:
- Pumpkin – pick a variety that doesn’t include additional ingredients. Just straight pumpkin is all we want here!
- Almond butter – if you can find one that consists of roasted almonds and nothing else, you’ll be in good stead. Roasted almonds taste, in my opinion, much better than regular almonds.
- Maple syrup – 100% pure maple syrup is what we’re working with here. It will taste wonderful in this recipe.
- Full-fat coconut milk – I like to chill a can in the fridge overnight (no shaking it ahead of time!) and then let the “cream” of the milk rise to the top where I then skim my two tablespoons from the top of the can. This gives Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip a rich, creamy texture.
- Spices: Ground cinnamon and allspice. Add in a pinch or two of ground cloves or nutmeg, if desired.
To add an extra sweet flavor, sprinkle some coconut sugar onto your dip. Its maple-y flavor complements the maple syrup well without overwhelming the recipe.
How to make Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip
If you do decide to take some Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip to a party, you don’t need to get fancy with it. The recipe includes only 6 ingredients and requires only a few minutes to prepare. So it’s a fairly versatile gluten-free Halloween party snack and the perfect dairy-free fall treat. Whenever I prepare this dip, I store it in the fridge until I’m ready for it. The dip will thicken as it stands, but the flavor will remain deliciously wonderful. And if your Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip firms up more than you’d like, then let it sit at room temperature for a short while, give it a good stir, and dip in again.
You might be wondering what to pair this with. I’d say anything along the lines of fruits and veggies or just straight up with a spoon. Also, Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip gives off a PBJ vibe, but without the peanuts (or the J, for that matter). Perhaps you could pair it with some jelly and a few slices of bread. Or slather it on apple or celery slices.

- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 1 1/2 cups 1x
- Category: Appetizers and Snacks
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3–4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Optional:
- A sprinkle or two of ground cloves and nutmeg
- Another sprinkle or two of coconut sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine pumpkin, almond butter and maple syrup. Stir until combined. Add in the coconut milk and stir until blended. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and allspice and stir until evenly mixed.
- Store covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days.
Notes
- For best results, it’s important to stir the ingredients together well. Otherwise you’ll end up with an uneven flavor as some portions taste more pumpkin-y and others too sweet. This is especially true if you are working with a thick almond butter. To be on the safe side, do a final stir with a fork to mash everything together, including the spices!
- Paleo Pumpkin Pie Dip will thicken as it stands.
- This is definitely a flexible recipe. So taste-test as you go, adding more sweetener, if desired, and more spices.
