This Butterscotch Caramel Pumpkin Dip is a creamy, flavorful dessert dip combining pumpkin puree, butterscotch pudding mix, and caramel sauce with classic pumpkin pie spices. Perfect for fall gatherings, it’s quick to prepare and pairs wonderfully with graham crackers, apple slices, or ginger snaps for an irresistible seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 5.1 oz box butterscotch instant pudding mix (vanilla or caramel works well too)
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 16 oz container frozen whipped topping (thawed, like Cool Whip)

Instructions

  1. Mix Main Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, butterscotch instant pudding mix, caramel sauce, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful to mix until just combined to maintain the light and fluffy texture.
  3. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This allows the dip to firm up and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Serve: When ready to serve, transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle additional caramel sauce on top and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor and decoration. Serve with your choice of dippers like graham crackers, apple slices, or ginger snaps.

Notes

  • Use thawed whipped topping for the best folding texture.
  • Allowing the dip to chill enhances the flavor and helps it set.
  • Vanilla or caramel instant pudding mixes can be substituted for butterscotch for a slight flavor variation.
  • Best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
