Ingredients You’ll Need

Whipped Feta:

8 oz block of feta cheese (drained from brine, about 220 g)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (opt for a higher-fat version for extra creaminess)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1–2 Tbsp honey (plus more for serving)
1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh thyme)
Freshly cracked black pepper

Toppings:

Fresh thyme (or dried, if needed)
Chopped walnuts (optional; raw or toasted)
Extra drizzle of honey

Serve With:

Crusty toasted bread (like sourdough or baguette)
Crackers or pita chips

How to Make Pumpkin Whipped Feta Dip

Step 1: Whip it good.
Add the feta cheese and Greek yogurt to your food processor. Blend for a few minutes until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 2: Add fall flavor.
Next, add pumpkin puree, honey (start with one tablespoon, then adjust to your sweet tooth), thyme, and a few cracks of black pepper. Blend again until silky and perfectly combined.

Step 3: Chill out.
Transfer your whipped feta mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes. This helps it firm up and lets the flavors mingle.

Step 4: Garnish & serve.
When ready to serve, give your dip a quick stir and top it with chopped walnuts, fresh thyme, a drizzle of honey, and maybe one last twist of black pepper. Serve it alongside crusty bread or crackers, and watch it disappear!

Mounia’s Tip

If your dip tastes a little too tangy, try adding an extra drizzle of honey or a splash more Greek yogurt to mellow it out. And if you’re feeling fancy, roast your pumpkin puree with a dash of cinnamon before blending—it adds a toasty, caramelized depth that’s downright addictive.

Also, don’t skip the chilling step. I know, waiting is the hardest part (especially when it smells this good), but trust me—chilling helps everything thicken and taste even more luxurious.

I first made this Pumpkin Whipped Feta Dip on one of those chaotic fall weeks—you know the kind.

This recipe saved me. Ten minutes later, I had a bowl of creamy, pumpkin-y goodness that had everyone asking, “What’s in this?!”

Moral of the story: when life gets hectic, let your food processor (and feta cheese) save the day.

FAQs About Pumpkin Whipped Feta Dip

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the dip up to two days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge and give it a quick stir before serving.

Can I substitute the feta cheese?

If feta isn’t your favorite, try goat cheese for a milder flavor. It still whips beautifully and pairs wonderfully with pumpkin.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It tastes great spread on sandwiches or wraps, too!

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes! Use a dairy-free feta alternative and a coconut or almond-based yogurt. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
