In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to make the process easier and ensure a creamy texture.
Add the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt to the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract and blend well to enhance the flavor.
Once all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the spread is smooth, taste and adjust the sweetness or spices if needed according to your preference.
Transfer the pumpkin spread into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the spread to thicken slightly.
Serve chilled as a spread on bagels, toast, muffins, or as an accompaniment to your favorite sweet dishes.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
