Fluffy Pumpkin dip is served with fruit and homemade cinnamon tortilla shapes for dipping! This makes a great Thanksgiving appetizer.
Here is another recipe I had made for Thanksgiving brunch last year. I just thought it was so adorable when I saw it on Leslie's blog, The Hungry Housewife.
I'm really into using food as serving dishes, so this was right up my ally.
Plus, the Cinnamon Tortilla Cutouts are so ridiculously cute! I have a bunch of fall-themed cookie cutters that I knew would be perfect for this sort of thing.
My family really liked the dip, and especially liked the Cinnamon Tortillas. I may just make this again at our Thanksgiving Day brunch this year. I recommend this recipe for any fall-themed party!
Gluten Free Option
This dip is naturally gluten free. Use gluten free tortillas for the cinnamon sugar cutouts!

Fluffy Pumpkin Dip with Cinnamon Tortilla Cutouts
Ingredients
Pumpkin Dip:
- 16 ounces container of cool whip (thawed)
- 5 ounces instant vanilla pudding

Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Cutouts:

To Make the Pumpkin Dip:
- In a large bowl, mix together the pudding, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Gently stir in the cool whip. This will take about 5 minutes to get a smooth texture.

To Make the Cinnamon Tortilla Cutouts:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
