Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Assorted dippers (fruits, pretzels)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup cream cheese, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and assorted dippers such as fruits and pretzels.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and peanut butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend them together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the bowl. Continue mixing on medium speed until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir continuously to prevent the fondue from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Heat until the mixture is warm and slightly melted, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the fondue into a serving bowl or a fondue pot to keep it warm.
- Prepare your assorted dippers by washing and cutting fruits such as apples, bananas, or strawberries, and arranging them on a platter alongside pretzels.
- Serve the warm Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Fondue with the assorted dippers. Encourage guests to dip their choices into the creamy fondue and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
- Store any leftover fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, gently warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Keep your fondue at a gentle, warm temperature. Too hot, and it'll separate; too cool, and it'll become too thick.
- Prep Your Dippers in Advance: Cut fruits and arrange pretzels before starting the fondue to ensure a smooth serving process.
- Get Creative with Dippers: While the recipe suggests fruits and pretzels, don't be afraid to try graham crackers, marshmallows, or even pound cake cubes!
- Smooth Blending Matters: Use an electric mixer to ensure your cream cheese and peanut butter are completely smooth before adding other ingredients.
- Leftovers Love: This fondue can be refrigerated and gently reheated, making it a great make-ahead dessert option.
- Spice Adjustment: Feel free to play with the cinnamon - add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for extra warmth.
