Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the pumpkin, both sugars, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract and continue to beat until creamy.
8 ounces cream cheese, ¾ cup (170g) pumpkin puree, ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, ⅓ cup (67g) brown sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
You will want to use a full-fat block of cream cheese for this recipe. Do not use the spreadable cream cheese that is sold in a tub.
Be sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
