Paleo Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip – the ultimate fall treat!
It’s happened. Even though it’s 90 degrees out.
September is here and everyone I know is already going nuts for fall, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice, scarves, and cute sweaters. Pumpkin Cheesecake dip is just part of the equation.
I’m over here just tryin’ to cling to the last little bit of summer and plan weekend beach trips before it gets too cold.
But I’m also a realist. I know you guys want healthy pumpkin recipes.
You’re all excited for autumn, even if I’m not. I know you guys want easy, healthy recipes that taste good. And this definitely fits the bill. It took all of five minutes to throw together.
Reasons to love this dairy-free cheesecake dip:
- You can eat it straight out of the bowl or use it as a dip for paleo crackers or fresh low-sugar fruit like strawberries.
- This fruit dip is made without cream cheese and therefore paleo and dairy-free.
- It is super versatile. Serve it for gameday parties, for your holiday table or bring it to potlucks.
- You might already have all the ingredients in your pantry! So easy!
Is this Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip healthy?
This cheesecake dip is actually pretty healthy. Unlike most dessert dips you’ll come across.
No refined sugar, no GMO dairy, and no sketchy ingredients. Enjoy, and happy fall.
Tips for making this pumpkin cheesecake dip:
- You can buy canned coconut cream or refrigerate a can of coconut overnight and spoon off the creamy bit that gathers on top of the milk.
- Pumpkin Spice can be easily made at home. Simpy mix 1 tsp cinnamon with 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp ginger and 1/8 tsp cloves.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice and none of the other ingredients to make your own, good old cinnamon will work just fine.
- Make sure to use actual pumpkin puree as opposed to canned pumpkin pie filling!

Hi there,
What is the equivalent of the coconut cream you suggested extracting from the canned coconut milk? While shopping for this recipe, I found organic canned coconut cream at Whole Foods -now I need to know how much to add for this recipe. Can you help?
Coconut cream isn’t the same product. The coconut water separates out in the can, so you are using just the solid left.
How much of the coconut cream do you use instead of skimming just the solid part of refrigerated coconut milk can?
I just use the whole solid part of the can!
Yum!! This sounds so good. Adding it to my recipe roundup for Paleo Halloween Recipes

Is the reduced fat coconut milk ok to use?
I haven’t tried – it might change the texture a bit. You could always halve the recipe when you try, just in case it doesn’t turn out.
Is there another dairy replacement you think would work well? I am allergic to coconut and dairy free!
Can you use maple syrup or honey instead of coconut sugar if so how much
