Over the summer I posted a whipped feta with roasted strawberries that went viral on the Internet (we’re talking almost 4 million views on TikTok and Instagram!!!), so I knew it was the perfect time to post a fall version. Enter: this pumpkin whipped feta dip!

This recipe takes all the yummy goodness of whipped feta, with the added touch (and nutrition benefits) of seasonal pumpkin. Honey, thyme, and walnuts add to this beautiful combination of sweet and savoury flavours.

Plus, it has a beautiful orange colour that is perfect for this time of the year 😉

This recipe is meant to be enjoyed as an appetizer, but feel free to also have it as a snack, as a spread on sandwiches/wraps, etc. I hope you (and your guests) love it!!

What To Serve With Pumpkin Whipped Feta

  1. For toppings – I LOVED the flavour combo of walnuts, thyme, and honey to accompany the savoury whipped feta. I used fresh thyme because it’s extra pretty, but you can use dried thyme as well 🙂
  2. For serving – I recommend spreading the dip over toasted, crusty bread or some yummy crackers. If you’re gluten-free, be sure to use your favourite gluten-free crackers (linked my favourites).
  3. You can also serve this dip with crunchy, raw veggies!

Tips For Making This Recipe

  1. If you’re making this recipe for a party, you can make the pumpkin whipped feta in advance (I’d say up to a day before!) Prepare the bread/dipping vehicles and add any toppings right before serving for optimal freshness.
  2. Be sure to chill the dip at least 30-60 minutes before serving. This will help to firm up the dip!
  3. You can serve this recipe as a dip (as pictured) OR you can serve it as crostini! If you’d prefer making crostini, simply slice up a baguette, toast the bread in the oven, spread whipped feta on each slice, and top with walnuts, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of honey.
  4. Leftovers will keep for a few days in an airtight container in the fridge. It tastes great spread onto a sandwich or enjoyed as a snack 😉

Pumpkin Nutrition Benefits

We may associate pumpkin with halloween festivities and sugary pumpkin spice lattes, but did you know that pure pumpkin is actually super nutritious?!

Pumpkin is an incredible source of vitamin A, with 1 cup of cooked pumpkin providing 245% of your daily needs!

Pumpkin is also a good source of other micronutrients, like vitamin C, E, B2 (riboflavin), potassium, copper, manganese, and iron.

In addition to its rich micronutrient content, pumpkin also is a good source of dietary fibre – 1 cup cooked provides 3 grams.

With its vibrant orange colour, pumpkin is rich in carotenoids (e.g. beta-carotene), which act as antioxidants and help to prevent cellular damage.
