3. Remove the pumpkin from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.

4. Combine the pumpkin mixture, yogurt, and vanilla in a blender, food processor, or even a mixer and process until everything is fully combined.

5. Transfer the dip to a container or bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
