Stove-Top Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Delight

Ingredients

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup whipped topping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until softened.

2. Mix the Cream Cheese and Powdered Sugar:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes.

3. Incorporate the Pumpkin Puree:
Add the pumpkin puree to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to blend with your mixer until well combined, ensuring a smooth and even texture.

4. Add the Spices:
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg into the mixture. Stir until the spices are fully integrated and the color is consistent throughout.

5. Heat on the Stove:
Transfer the mixture into a medium saucepan. Set the stove to low heat and gently stir the mixture continuously. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly. Be careful not to overheat, as you don't want the mixture to become runny or start to separate.

6. Cool and Fold in Whipped Topping:
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled but still warm, fold in the whipped topping gently using a spatula, creating a light and airy texture.

7. Serve:
Spoon the Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Delight into individual serving dishes. For a gourmet presentation, you may wish to sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice on top. Serve warm or allow to chill in the refrigerator for a firmer dessert.
