Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Dips & Condiments

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces brick-style cream cheese, very well-softened (lite is okay)
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided (3/4 cup + 3/4 cup)
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, divided (1/2 cup + 1/2 cup)
1 heaping cup pizza sauce (or your favorite marinara or red sauce)
about 15 pepperoni slices, or as needed to cover surface of pie dish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (I used a glass Pyrex) with cooking spray.
  • Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese over the base of pie dish. It'll slide around a bit and it doesn't have to be perfect, but it's so much easier if your cream cheese is very well-softened.
  • Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over cream cheese.
  • Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
  • Evenly add the pizza sauce to cover cheese and if necessary, gently spread it with a spatula or knife to evenly disperse.
  • Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over sauce.
  • Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
  • Evenly top with pepperoni slices.
  • Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes (I baked 23 minutes), or until cheese has melted and dip is done to your liking. Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1 cup shredded mild provolone
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers, patted dry
Tortilla chips, for serving
Crudites, for serving (I used endive spears, carrots, cucumbers, fennel and baby bell peppers)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, oregano, rosemary, red pepper flakes and garlic in a large bowl and mix until smooth. Stir in the mozzarella, provolone and 1/4 cup Parmesan until well combined. Gently fold in the roasted red bell peppers just to combine.
  • Spread the mixture in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmesan. Bake until browned and bubbly throughout, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve hot with tortilla chips and crudites.

Tips for Making the Best Pizza Dip in a Pumpkin:

  • Choose a medium-sized pumpkin that is about 6 inches in diameter. This will ensure that the dip is not too big or too small.
  • Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Be careful not to cut too deeply into the pumpkin, as you don't want to puncture the skin.
  • Brush the inside of the pumpkin with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. This will help to prevent the dip from sticking to the pumpkin.
  • Combine all of the dip ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Pour the dip mixture into the prepared pumpkin and bake it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and hot.
  • Serve the dip immediately with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, pepperoni, vegetables, or chips.

Conclusion:

Pizza dip in a pumpkin is a fun and festive way to serve your favorite party food. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover Halloween pumpkins. So next time you're looking for a unique and delicious appetizer, give this recipe a try. Your guests will love it!
