Light and airy pumpkin dip with vanilla, cinnamon, and maple for cozy fall gatherings.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin purée
02 - 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

→ Spices and Flavorings

03 - 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
04 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
05 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
06 - 3 tbsp pure maple syrup

→ Toppings

07 - 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin purée and instant vanilla pudding mix. Blend thoroughly with a rubber spatula or hand mixer until smooth and lump-free.
02 - Add pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until spices and sweetener are evenly distributed.
03 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula, preserving its light and airy texture until fully combined with no visible streaks.
04 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to set with optimal creaminess.
05 - Spoon the chilled dip into a serving bowl and optionally sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Serve alongside graham crackers, apple slices, gingersnaps, or pretzels.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Use cold ingredients for maximum fluffiness and fold whipped topping gently to avoid deflating the mixture.
02 - Adjust sweetness and spice to taste before chilling. Prepare ahead by refrigerating overnight for enhanced flavor.
