Beth says
Does it need to be butternut pumpkin? I have a different kind in my fridge needing to be used. What is "special" about the butternut? ;)
thermofun says
Hi Beth, buttercup pumpkin is sweeter than other pumpkin. I've only made this dip with butternut but it would certainly be worth trying with what you have. I'd love to know how it goes for you. :)
Beth says
It's delicious Leonnie, and a good consistency too. Will definitely be making it again!
thermofun says
oh that's fabulous to know Beth. Thank you! :)
Dianne Symes says
Just made this for the first time today, doubled the batch , so now have a few containers to freeze as well.......very yummy, and I'm sure it will be enjoyed by my guests. Thanks
thermofun says
Thanks Dianne - yes I freeze a lot of dips too. Very handy to have on hand. Enjoy! :)
Nicki says
My new favourite! So easy, and so much better than store bought, thanks for another great recipe
thermofun says
Thanks Nicki :)
Jennifer says
Hi
I'm going to make this dip tomorrow for a get together and was a little confused about the oil. I coated the pumpkin with the oil but do I also add 40g oil to the bowl with the other ingredients?
Thanks
PS - Love your recipes
thermofun says
It's probably a personal choice Jennifer. If in doubt and not keen on using too much oil, I'd suggest you use 20g and then see how it is when it is finished. Will be fine to add and blitz a further 20g if you think it needs it.
Alisha says
Hi,
I'm new to thermomix world and i'm going to make this tomorrow, How long will the dip last for?
Love your site x
thermofun says
Alisha it will last in the fridge for approx 5 days. It also freezes well too. :)
Alisha says
wow thats great to know, thank you for getting back to me x
Breea Ingram says
Can this recipe be made without the nuts? Do i just not add them in or is there a replacement option. Thank you ;)
thermofun says
Breea - the nuts actually add a good texture to the dip. Maybe you could try substituting with chick peas.
Margie Bauer says
Perfect balance of flavours! Just like the bought one, only better. Roasted the garlic with the pumpkin. Needed another bit of a chop after scraping the bowl down. Definitely keeping this recipe. Thank you.
thermofun says
Thanks Margie pleased you enjoyed it. :)
Tania says
This one is my new favourite. Can't. Stop. Eating. It!
All these dips are made so easily in TM and all with healthy ingredients which make them great to snack on.
thermofun says
Yes they are all very more-ish aren't they Tania?! :)
Michelle says
Loved this! Exactly the same as store bought. I roasted the garlic with the pumpkin. I'll never buy from the shops again. Thanks for sharing x
thermofun says
Thanks Michelle we like that one too, a lot!! Make sure you try all the others on my site that I've converted too - just by taking a photo of the ingredients on the store bought commercial tubs and then just 'winging' it! :)
Katrina says
Yon yom yom....so in love !

Pleased you like it Katrina! That is one of my favourites too! :)
Cath says
Hi, do you use natural or roasted cashews?
