Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Pumpkin Whipped Feta. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

Use block feta cheese and not feta cheese crumbles, this will effect the overall texture of the dip.

Plain greek yogurt tastes the best inside this recipe, I love using the one from Greek God’s.

Using a high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil is best for both flavor and overall texture of this dip.

Use canned pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.

I love using the honey from Bee Keeper’s Naturals, but feel free to use your favorite high quality honey, just make sure the only ingredient is honey. Otherwise, you may sub agave or maple syrup. Hot honey would also taste really yummy on top of this dip.

Salt and pepper helps balance out all the flavors.

For dipping, use toasted baguette slices, toasted pita bread or fresh veggies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

I would recommend making it when you are ready to enjoy it. This dip only takes a few minutes to put together. If you make it ahead of time, it will still taste amazing, but storing in the fridge will result in a thicker texture.

What can I serve with this dip?

Whipped feta can be served with pita bread, pita chips, fresh or roasted vegetables and can be used as a spread for sandwiches or a dipped sauce for protein such as chicken or beef.

What can I use instead of candied pecans?

You can use walnuts, almonds, pistachios or just omit them all together.
