Autumn Gold Whipped Feta Dip
This Pumpkin Whipped Feta Dip is the quintessential fall appetizer that brings a sophisticated, seasonal flair to your next gathering. There is something deeply cozy about the combination of salty, tangy feta whipped into a silken cloud with the earthy sweetness of pumpkin purée.
Ingredients
- 8 oz feta cheese crumbled (room temperature)
- ½ cup 100% pure pumpkin purée
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup walnuts toasted and roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil optional
- Fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Place the crumbled feta and Greek yogurt into a food processor.
- Process for 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and whipped.
- Add the pumpkin purée, honey, and cinnamon. Process for another minute until fully combined and fluffy.
- If a thinner consistency is desired, stream in the olive oil while the motor is running.
- Spread the dip into a shallow bowl and create swirls on the surface with a spoon.
- Top with toasted walnuts, an extra drizzle of honey, and fresh thyme.
- Serve immediately at room temperature with crackers or bread.
