Instructions

Whip First Pumpkin Spice Cream: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream with 3 tbsp powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and 2 tbsp pumpkin purée. Using an electric mixer, whip until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth and fluffy pumpkin-spiced whipped cream.

Prepare Board and Arrange: Lay out a serving board or platter. Arrange graham crackers, gingersnap cookies, shortbread cookies, fresh apple slices, and fresh strawberries around the board to create a colorful and inviting spread.
Serve and Enjoy: Spoon each whipped cream mixture into separate bowls or ramekins and place them on the board. Encourage guests to dip their favorite cookies and fruits into the creamy, spiced whipped toppings for a delightful fall treat.

Notes

You can prepare the whipped creams a few hours ahead and keep them refrigerated until serving.
For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream, though the texture will differ slightly.
Feel free to add more pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon if you prefer a stronger spice flavor.
Use fresh, crisp apples for the best contrast and texture when dipping.
