Kelsey Nixon, who was one of the finalists on Next Food Network Star, is a fellow Utahn. Recently, she was here making the rounds on local TV. I discovered from her appearances that she has a website with recipes, Kelsey’s Kitchen. While browsing her site I came across this recipe for pumpkin dip that you serve with ginger snaps.
I love ginger snaps and this sounded like a fun and different way to have them. The recipe says the orange extract is optional. I had some so I added it and would highly recommend it. I don’t know if I would like it as much if it didn’t have the orange in it. It really added to the flavor combination.
I also made a half recipe and it made plenty. I would say around 2 cups. You could purchase ginger snaps to serve this with, but I made homemade ginger snaps. Come back tomorrow and I’ll be sharing my recipe for ginger snaps to go along with this dip.
