Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Taco Dip in a Hollowed Mini Pumpkin

  • Combine cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, shredded cheese, black beans, corn, fresh cilantro, and chopped jalapeños in a mixing bowl. Blend until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Slice off the top of the mini pumpkin to create a lid and hollow out the insides, removing seeds and stringy parts.
  • Spoon the taco dip into the hollowed pumpkin, packing it in smoothly and leaving room for the lid.
  • For a warm dip, preheat oven to 350°F, drizzle olive oil over the filled pumpkin, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the Pumpkin Taco Dip with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or pita bread.

Notes

Ensure the pumpkin is fresh and firm to hold the dip. Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
