Pumpkin Pie Dip with Cinnamon Chips
Ingredients
For the dip:
- 8 oz. cream cheese - softened
- 2/3 Gentle Sweet or NSI 1/3 cup POWDERED Truvia
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree (I use Libby's and really like it)
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
For the chips:
- 4 (4 net carbs each-serving size is 1) Low Carb Tortillas Or 8 (3 net carb whole wheat tortillas-serving size is 2)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter to brush on the tortillas before baking
- 2 tablespoons xylitol or erythritol and 2 tablespoons cinnamon NSI you can sub in 1 1/2 tablespoons truvia. *see note
Instructions
Make the dip:
- Soften the cream cheese well and mix in the sweetener, pumpkin and spices till blended.
- I use an immersion blender to mix these and then just add in the whipping cream and mix well and add the vanilla.
- Cover the bowl and keep cool till needed.
- This keeps very well when stored tightly covered.
Make the Chips:
- *Brush butter on each tortilla and sprinkle with the cinnamon/sweetener.
- Stack until all tortillas have been buttered then cut into wedges.
- Bake tortilla wedges in single layer on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 12-14 minutes, flipping once or twice to make sure they're crispy and sprinkle with extra cinnamon mixture immediately if you forget before they go in the oven.
- If they don't seem to be getting as crisp as you'd like but are done, go ahead and removed them from the oven and place on a rack to cool after you cut them.
- They'll crisp right up in 5 or 10 minutes at the most.
- *Alternately you can butter them and bake them whole, I did that with those pictured but you have to work quickly and cut them while they are still hot from the oven pressing them with a heavy, smooth edged knife.
- If you plan to take these somewhere they will be prettier when you brush with butter and cut first and bake.
- It is so easy to serve and have on hand that I let the occasion determine how much time I put into this dish. Cool and serve.
Notes
*You can use Gentle Sweet as the sweetener but a powdered sweetener instead of a granulated one will have a burnt appearance when done, although it will still taste good.
