I dont care for ppkin. What other flavors are good?
I’m confused if your just going to add pumpkin pie spice , why not just use pumpkin pie filling? Because of the sugar content?
If I don’t have a stand mixer, can I use a regular hand mixer? Thanks!
Yes, you can certainly use a stand mixer.
The pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and has spices so it will make it too sweet and alter the flavor.
Correct. By using the pumpkin puree, you an control the amount of sugar and spices.
Does the cream cheese need to be room temperature?
yes, it is much easier to work with at room temperature.
Yes, the cream cheese needs to be room temperature so it will mix with the other ingredients.
are you supposed to fold the cool whip in or mix with mixer?
Did EXACTLY as recipe says to do. DISGUSTING! It tasted like straight up pumpkin. I even tried to add some Powdered sugar and extra pumpkin pie spice to sweeten it up, but to no avail. It’s a great idea, but defintely needs some work.
Sorry it wasn’t to your liking.
I added 1/4 tsp of ginger. Love it with ginger snaps.
At first it’s not sweet, but refrigerate overnight and it’s perfect next day!
How much is one serving considered?
