This recipe list is fairly short and calls for easy ingredients. For a full list and measurements see the recipe card below.

Eggnog: Specifically, Pumpkin spice eggnog. However, you could also add a heaping spoonful of pumpkin puree with a little pumpkin pie spice for the same great flavor.
Sour Cream: This recipe uses sour cream instead of the typical cream cheese. The slight tang pairs perfectly with the eggnog.
Heavy Cream: The other crucial ingredient to giving you that light texture.

In a separate bowl, whisk the whipping cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold into the eggnog mixture.

Tips and FAQ’s:

How to make this dip in advance:

This recipe can be made up to two days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. I like to add an extra layer of plastic wrap tightly across the top of the dip, touching the surface, to help keep a crust from forming.

What to serve with dessert dips:

This specific dip is best served with cookies. Sugar, Vanilla wafers, Gingersnaps, Gingerbread, Graham crackers… All work and taste incredible. You could even use fruit in the dip like apples or strawberries.
