Yeah, remember that time I made an insanely good recipe and everyone ate all of it before I remembered to take a picture? Well, it happened again. I made this Pumpkin-Butterscotch Dip for Kensington’s Pumpkin Patch Party and it was such a hit, that we all ate it before I remembered to photograph it…sigh. My mom kept saying it was her favorite item of the party (and I wouldn’t even call my mom a “pumpkin” person!).
This little dip is super simple! I served mine with both apple slices and graham crackers. You just heat it up in the slow cooker for about an hour and you’re done. I served mine right out of my mini slow cooker but you could ladle it into a dish and serve it out of that too. You are going to love this dip!
Shopping List
2 (11 oz) bags of butterscotch chips
1 cup of pumpkin puree (I always use Libby’s, save the rest of the can for another use)
1 (5 oz) can of Evaporated Milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
In a small slow cooker, place all of your ingredients in and stir them around. Cook on high for one hour or on low for 3 hours. Stir before serving.
That’s it! I use a small slow cooker because a large slow cooker would be too big for the few ingredients listed here. If you don’t have a mini sized slow cooker, then you could make this on the stove in a saucepan. Over medium-high heat, cook all of your ingredients until melted together. Remove from heat and serve.
Happy dipping!

You can really do it either way! This dip was left on warm for most of the party but then I took it off warm and everyone finished it off room temp…you really can't mess it up!

Sounds easy & yummy!!!

Yummmmm how I love pumpkin!
Do you have an alternative to suggest for the evaporated milk???? My daughter has a severe milk allergy and I don't know if canned coconut milk would do this dip justice. Would you use regular milk- if so, I could sub almond milk. Thank you!
Btw, your NYC trip with MB looks like pure bliss!

Thanks!

I think sweetened condensed milk would be delicious in this recipe too! But if your daughter has an allergy to that as well, I would sub almond or regular milk.
Crystal R says
Thank you! Yes, anything with a trace of cow's milk is out of the picture. So I will try sweetened vanilla almond milk 🙂
Toddler Mom says
Sounds yummy! I don't love butterscotch, so do you think a white chocolate pumpkin dip would be just as good? I think it could be… 🙂
Jaren says
This sounds really good!
Julie says
Sounds delicious! Just curious – how long will the leftover pumpkin keep?
Mix and Match Mama says
White chocolate would be really yummy in this dip too!! And the leftover pumpkin will keep about 5 days in the fridge!

I'm not a huge dip person but this sounds delicious! Will be trying soon!

Have you ever served this dip cold? Like at a tailgate?

Any tips on how to keep the apples from browning?

Mix and Match Mama says
Squeezing lemon juice on your apples keeps them from browning, however, I just wait and cut mine until right when we're about to eat the dip. As for serving the dip cold, I've never tried that but it could be really yummy!

I made this last night, but it is soooo runny! I think the evaporated milk would be better substituted with condensed to thicken it up?
Was yours runny like water? What did I do wrong?
Mix and Match Mama says
Mine wasn't runny but it wasn't thick either. It was just kind of like a caramel dip you would use for apples. Totally swap it out with Eagle Brand Milk next time! That would be delish too!
Lisa R. says
Yes, I cooked mine on the stove top, and then after the get together last night, I put it in the fridge. It's actually much thicker this morning! Maybe just cooking it on the stovetop and serving it right then was the problem. Probably would have been better in my crock pot. Thank you! It REALLY IS AMAZINGLY DELICOUS!
Monika says
I made this dip this weekend. It was AMAZING!!!
The Rimke Chronicles says
OK, I've made this twice now and the secret really is to let it sit overnight in the fridge!! Makes it thicken up enough to dip.
