Author Notes

When I think holiday, I think pumpkin and spice. I also love gingersnaps, so I thought I would put the two together for this dish. The dip is made unique by adding a bit of orange zest and making the gingersnaps mini and from scratch. For a clever way to serve the dip, scoop out the insides of a small pumpkin and serve the dip inside the pumpkin. —Table9
