Pumpkin Cheesecake Dip with Turkey Gingersnaps

Need a last-minute Thanksgiving appetizer? This pumpkin cheesecake dip whips up in 5 minutes flat and is seriously addicting! Don’t forget the homemade turkey gingersnap dippers!

Howdy! Popping in here for a quick second or two before I go plunging back into the chaos that is called omg-it’s-the-day-before-Thanksgiving-and-my-to-do-list-is-growing-by-the-second.

Ugh, I even lost my coffee for a scary 5 seconds this morning if you can believe that. Send help.

So. Before I head back to the holiday craziness I’m going to leave you with yet another app.

Because APPS, guys. They’re the life of the party as we all probably know, AND there’s the fact that I had one more awesome Thanksgiving app on my list to share with y’all that could not possibly wait ’til next year.

This pumpkin cheesecake dip, guys. Those gingersnap dippers hanging out in turkey form.

Repeat after me: OBSESSED. That’s what you and me are right now.

Let’s take a break from peeling potatoes and brining turkeys for a minute. It’s snacktime!

First things first, let’s talk dip! Pumpkin, cream cheese, agave nectar, vanilla, and spices get all whipped up til creamy, dreamy HE-AVEN.

Taste to make sure it’s edible. You know, just in case. 😉

Now if we’re being honest here, you COULD stop here and just enjoy this dip with graham crackers, apple slices, your spoon, ect. HOW-EVER…really, friends! How fun are these gingersnaps?? They’re little turkeys and they’re super-fun, adorbs + so darn good.

Okay, I’m actually saying don’t skip them. Just don’t.

Seriously. Little turkey-shaped cookies, guys! Don’t even deny that the kid in you isn’t going nuts right now. 😉

Sooooo are you convinced yet that you probably need this winner turkey day app on your snacky list for tomorrow?

I’m hoping we all have one of those. 😉

Now I’ve gotta go peel 500 lbs of potatoes, so I’m just gonna leave you with the dip. You know whatcha gotta do. 😀

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Eat lots and be thankful lots! ♥
