How to make Homemade Pumpkin Ranch Dip?
This is one of those colorful and impressive dips that hardly require any instructions. Just dump all your ingredients in a big bowl, whisk and all done. It’s extremely easy and takes about 10 minutes of your time.
For this recipe, I have used store-bought pumpkin puree. But you can sub that with homemade pumpkin puree. Just make sure it’s not too runny. It should be thick. Combine the puree with dry ranch mix, yogurt, sour cream, and season with salt. Mix and chill. The dip is ready.
This is a reasonably simple dip, but if you like, you can add some heat level to it. I have tried a few dashes of Sriracha sauce, and it tastes fantastic and not to mention spicy.

Can I make this Homemade Pumpkin Ranch Dip in advance?
Of course, you can. This is a perfect make-ahead dip. Whisk all the ingredients and store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator. It will stay right in the fridge for up to four days. Enjoy while it lasts.
Can I freeze this dip?
I would not recommend freezing as the quality and texture will be affected. It will not taste the same as the freshly-made one.
