Sweet, light and creamy pumpkin dip served with crispy baked cinnamon and sugar pie “fries”.
Pumpkin Dip with Pie Fries (gluten free)
Pumpkin Dip with Pie Fries (gluten free), guys. This is a super fun snack or dessert! This pumpkin dip is probably not a new concept to you. You’ve probably seen this dessert dip all over Pinterest, I know I have. But it’s so good it’s impossible to ignore and one of those ‘must make’ recipes. And once you make it you can’t stop eating it. It’s so light, airy, sweet and tasty. It makes you feel like you’re eating a little bit of fluffy pumpkin heaven.
But lets not forget to mention the cinnamon sugar pie fries. Pie what? Pie. Fries. That’s right. Basically, it’s pie crust rolled out, bathed in cinnamon and sugar, cut into thin strips (the ‘fries’) and baked. They make the perfect vessel for delivering the pumpkin dip to your pie hole. Ha! Sorry, couldn’t help myself… But seriously. It’s almost like you’re eating pumpkin pie but so much more fun because it’s dip!
This isn’t your typical sit down, serve it on a plate dessert which makes it great for parties. Having friends over for a football game? Serve some pumpkin dip! Fall/Harvest party? Pumpkin dip with pie fries for the win! It’s also a very easy dessert that takes very minimal effort. Store-bought pie crust cuts way down on your prep time. I used the gluten-free Pillsbury crust which is what I have been using for my pies and quiches. You could use homemade pie crust or if you’re not eating gluten-free any store bought pie dough is fine as long as it’s not already in a baking pan. What ever kind of crust you choose to use, it’ll be delicious. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Dip with Pie "Fries"
Ingredients
- For the Pumpkin Dip:
- 1 C heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
- 1 3.4 oz package vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- For the Pie Fries:
- 1 refrigerated pie dough see notes for gluten-free suggestion
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper (the size of the pan) on the counter and roll out the dough. Brush the dough with the melted butter and evenly sprinkle with the granulated sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Cut the dough into strips about 1/4 inch thick with a pizza wheel or large knife. Transfer the parchment paper to a large baking sheet and separate the strips of dough.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- While the pie fries are baking, combine the pumpkin puree, vanilla pudding mix (just the powder, don't make it into pudding!),1/2 tsp cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whip cream into the pumpkin mixture until completely combined. Be very careful not to stir and deflate the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve with the cinnamon sugar pie sticks!

Love how easy this is to make. I’m wondering how the dip would be with some apples? Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.

Love these! Seriously such a great idea! I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to stop eating this.
Lol who knew a dessert without chocolate would be so addicting?!
Oh my gosh pie fries sound like the best idea ever! Love that pumpkin dip too – they sound amazing!
Thanks Kelly!
What a clever idea! I would love to try a gluten-free version.
Warmly,
Jennifer
I used the Pillsbury gluten-free dough but you can use your favorite gluten-free crust 🙂
Those look delicious! Pie fries?! That’s awesome. And that dip looks incredible. Pumpkin pie in dip form is brilliant!
How do you recommend storing the pie fries if baking ahead of time?
I would freeze the pie fries and then crisp them up in the oven for a minute or so before serving.
Thanks Stacey!
Mmmm. Wow. Now I’m craving for some fries.
Lol fry cravings are serious business.
This looks so good! I love the “pie fries” idea – that way you can get the perfect crust-to-filling ratio with every bite! 🙂
For me the ratio would be all the dip:pie fry 😉
This is pretty much the greatest pumpkin idea yet! YUM!!
Thanks so much Chelsea!
Yum! I love this idea.
Thanks Danielle!
oh my gosh! these “Pie Fries” are the coolest idea ever! they sound so delicious like I would probably eat them all! pinning!
Thanks Michele! And you’re right, it’s very easy to get carried away eating them!
This looks AMAZING! I’m having my boyfriend’s parents over for dinner in a few weeks, and I’m thinking this would be such a festive and tasty dessert! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thanks Monique! I’m sure they would love it 🙂
