Pumpkin Dip ala Tool Time

It’s that time of the year where I get to enjoy my favorite pumpkin-based desserts.  For Christmas, we decided to whip up some Pumpkin Dip…which is a sweet pumpkin-based mixture that you dip out with gingersnap cookies.

Part of the recipe called for “beating the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth”.  Easier said than done as an 8 ounce brick of Philadelphia Cream Cheese is not easy to beat (unlike the Eagles, but we’ll save that posting for another day <ducks and runs>).  I tried the standard cordless mixer but it quickly lost its charge and didn’t even make a dent.  Not to be denied my pumpkin delight, I  broke out the big guns – an 18volt Skill cordless drill – which quickly whipped the cream cheese into shape.  What can I say…a man’s job is never done ;?)
