Whether you’re looking for an appetizer, snack, or lunch, this dairy and refined-sugar free Pumpkin Spice Fruit Dip is a delicious treat!
Foodie confession time.
Appetizers are my downfall. Well, one of my downfalls. The other one is chocolate. Or brownies… or ice cream… 😉 But seriously, when it comes to big family get-togethers during the holidays, I’m fine with skipping the main dish and filling up on appetizers and dessert.
Thankfully, my kids and hubby share my love of dips and cheese balls, and they’re happy to make an appetizer a meal with me. 🙂 Some lunches we chow down on hummus and veggies, other days we snack on crackers and popcorn.
This pumpkin spice fruit dip made its way onto our lunch table with apple slices and crackers and we devoured it happily. I was a little worried that my husband wouldn’t enjoy it, since he’s not the biggest on pumpkin, but after one bite he announced: “This is fabulous!”
Of course, you don’t need fruits or crackers to enjoy this delicious little dip – a spoon will do just as nicely. 😉
With no dairy or sugar, and only a few healthy ingredients, there’s no need to feel guilty chowing down on it! So go ahead, fill up on the appetizers… 😉

- 1 can full fat coconut milk (I used Thai Kitchen)
- 1/4 c. pumpkin puree (it's easy to make your own)
- 1/4 c. honey
- 1/2 t. cinnamon
- 1/8 t. nutmeg
- pinch cloves
- 1/2 t. vanilla (I like to use my homemade extract)
- The night before making the dip, set the can coconut milk in the fridge.
- The next morning, place a bowl and hand beaters in the freezer.
- Open the can and scoop out the coconut cream that has separated to the top of the can. Place it in the chilled bowl and whip with the chilled beaters until thick and fluffy.
- Add in remaining ingredients and whip until well mixed.
- Serve with apple slices, grapes, graham crackers, cookies, whatever floats your boat.
- Store leftovers in the fridge, covered.
Still hungry after the appetizers?
I’m happy to be sharing this Pumpkin Spice Fruit Dip as part of this year’s Thanksgiving Recipe Swap – a progressive blog-dinner.
“A progressive dinner where you don’t actually get to eat anything,” as my husband bitterly reminds me. Haha!
But, of course you do get to eat – you just have to make it all yourself. 😉 Which I’m guessing is right up your alley if you’re still reading.

Thank you so much, Marla!
This looks scrump-dilly-icious, as we used to say when I was a kid. I love that you make it with real pumpkin, and I’m thinking I could use first-press homemade coconut milk too, yes? Looking forward to trying this, and sharing it tomorrow as Recipe of the Day on my Facebook page. Thank you for a lovely recipe and a fun read.
Thank you so much for sharing it, Kathryn. 🙂 I think homemade coconut milk would work, if you let it set for a while and separate. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the dip if you get a chance to make it!
I love making fruit dip, but have only ever made nut-based dips…I love that this recipe is based on coconut cream! Looks so good Raia 😀
Thank you, Kyra! 🙂
This is such a dreamy dip! Everything with pumpkin spice is just amazing!
Thank you! It’s definitely one of my favorites. 🙂
