Then add in pumpkin puree and brown organic sugar, beating for an additional minute or so until everything is blended together nicely.
Gradually add powdered sugar to the mixture and beat intermittently, creating a creamy consistency.
Then incorporate cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice stirring continuously until smooth. After, move the dip into an airtight vessel or serving bowl; store it in the refrigerator before ready use.
