Description
This Pumpkin Whipped Feta Dip is the perfect balance of savory and sweet, blending creamy feta with smooth pumpkin puree and a touch of honey. The addition of fresh thyme gives the dip an earthy aroma that pairs beautifully with the slight sharpness of the feta, while the walnuts add a subtle crunch for texture. Drizzled with extra honey before serving, this dip has a rich, autumnal flavor that will elevate any gathering.
Ingredients
Whipped Feta:
Approx. 8 oz block of feta cheese, drained from brine (around 220 grams)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (use a higher fat option for less tartness)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1–2 tablespoons honey (plus more to serve)
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh thyme)
Freshly cracked black pepper
Toppings:
Fresh thyme (or dried, if needed)
Chopped walnuts (optional; raw or toasted)
Extra honey drizzle
Serve With:
Crusty, toasted bread (like sourdough or baguette)
Crackers
Instructions
Make the Whipped Feta: In a food processor, blend the feta cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the Pumpkin Mixture: Add the pumpkin puree, 1-2 tablespoons of honey (depending on your sweetness preference), thyme, and a few cracks of black pepper to the food processor. Blend again until everything is well combined.
Chill: Transfer the whipped feta mixture to the fridge and chill, covered, for 30-60 minutes. This step helps to firm up the dip.
Garnish and Serve: When ready to serve, transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped walnuts (if using), a sprinkle of fresh thyme, an extra drizzle of honey, and more freshly cracked black pepper.
Serve: Pair with crusty, toasted bread or crackers for dipping. Enjoy the creamy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors!
