I'm sharing an ecstatic array of pumpkin dessert recipes to dazzle, delight, and get those creative juices flowing in the kitchen - pumpkin-wise of course! Β Any one of these could be a real winner after dinner and or a holiday gathering.
Abeer from Cake Whiz knows her cakes. Β She has an impressive collection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and treats. Β In awe of her mastery of "cake-dom." Β I love how festive this cake is but totally attainable to someone that doesn't decorate cakes all day. Β I could see it like a good birthday cake for someone who has a birthday around Halloween. (i.e. Hubby).
I am loving this unique recipe from Holly of Spend with Pennies. Β Ooooh, I want one right now with my tea!
I really like flan and a pumpkin flan is something that just goes. Β Brilliant!
I am a coffee cake lover, what a great idea to do a pumpkin spice coffee cake - and that bundt pan is all kinds of awesome! Β Lovin' it.

This fudge recipe is gluten-free. Β I love a good fudge recipe and now I have a pumpkin one.
I have never tried baking in my slower but after seeing this, I'm going to try now! Β I love that ooey gooey caramel sauce, it looks like it would be a real crowd pleaser! Β I love that giant jar of caramel sauce that's casually hanging around in the background of this picture, oh yum.
I <3 tiramisu, I really do. Β I have a tiramisu recipe that I want to share but until I do, here's this yummy Pumpkin Tiramisu from Paige at Where Latin Meets Lagniappe. Β I also pinned her Pumpkin Spice Cannoli recipe that looks amazing.
Meggan from Culinary Hill shares her family recipe for Pumpkin Muffins. Β The fact that this is her mother's recipe that she grew up with stands out to me. Β I love how recipes are passed down through generations and now she's sharing this with all of us!
These look, just, lovely. Β I love the food styling in this picture (I want that spoon!), it's so dreamy and of course the food!
Aren't these the cutest? Β They look so festive and fun. Valentina of Cooking on the Weekends also has aΒ Pecan Crusted, Salted, Spiced Caramel Pumpkin Pie (Gluten-Free Recipe) and Chai-Spiced Maple Pumpkin Bread Pudding Recipe both of which I pinned to my Pumpkin, Everything board.
Thank you Alissa (of Connoisseurs VEG) for sharing this, now it is in my life, and others too. Β ThisΒ is something thatΒ I can whip up after my toddler goes to bed. Β This is a small wonder, this is.
This recipe is so unique and looks incredibly tasty. Β Trevor and Jennifer also made a helpful video which is on their blog. Β I have also pinned their Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting and Easy Pumpkin Ice Cream with Marshmallow Swirl to my Pumpkin Everything board.
I find the bourbon chocolate sauce in this pumpkin cheesecake intriguing; I love different flavors and the presentation is gorgeous. Β I also pinned Lauren's (from A Nerd Cook) Pumpkin Cake with Cheesecake, Gingersnap, and Salted Caramel Topping and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies to my Pumpkin Everything Pinterest Board.
I like that this recipe uses coconut sugar, coconut milk, and flax, three ingredients that are always in my kitchen. Β I also pinned a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie recipe, Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Pancakes, and Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte from Hannah of Healy Eats Real on my Pumpkin Everything board.
I like this one because it is different, I do not see pumpkin fritters often in my online travels and now I have. Β I love the idea! Β Tracy has some other lovely pumpkin recipes such as a Spiced Pumpkin Yogurt Parfait and Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Biscotti which I have pinned as well.
Cookies with a glaze, oh man, these look so good and according to her blog post, very addicting too! Β I have been thinking about these all day, I have to bake them.
Don't feel like turning on the oven? Β Here's a "no-bake," vegan dessert idea! Β Isn't this picture so festive and pretty? Β Those plates! Β I want! Β She also has a recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies which I pinned to my Pumpkin everything board.
Mira from Cooking LSL always has yummy recipes and this one is no exception. Β It is also so beautiful! Those perfect swirled slices are sure to impress and if they impress yourself while eating the entire roll, that's okay too.
I am a fan of vegan recipes, most that I come across always taste so good. Β This picture is a pumpkin tease, showing just the edge of the pumpkin, the leaf gives a feel for cooler weather with knitted sweaters and polar fleece...give me a slice with a cup of strong coffee!
Do these lookΒ scrumptious? Um, YES! Β And only 2 ingredients? Β Alright! Β I love the use of natural parchment paper as well. Olivia from Liv for Cake has some stellar recipes on her fantastic blog.
My love of pumpkin flavor all goes back to a classic pumpkin pie - much like this one.
I have those same white ramekins! Β When I saw this recipe, I thought, this would be perfect for my hubby, Eric, he's into fitness and is aware of this carb intake, I, on the other hand, am not worried about carbs, bring them on! Β Denise from My Life Cookbook also has a great Protein Ice Cream (also low carb), which I pinned to my Pumpkin Everything board.
Diane, Dave, and Kaytie from Homemade Food Junkie don't mess around. Β They have many, many delicious recipes on their fabulous blog. Β This one I am definitely making. Β I have always wanted to make a sweet potato pie, why not one with pumpkin while I am at it?
Oh, do I love a good brownie. Β Cheesecake and Pumpkin brownies? Β Now, these I gotta try!
I can see this after dinner with a little coffee or tea, good conversation, Mmmm, good... and then again in the morning, and for a snack in the afternoon - you get the picture π
Pumpkin Cookies and Gluten-Free, what a win! Β I have someone in my family that is gluten-free so I will be making these for themΒ and a whole batch for myself.
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. Β YES! Β And when I read that it DOES NOT require an ice cream machine and only takes 5 minutes to prepare, I almost got up from my desk and RANΒ to the kitchen to make this! But alas, I will put it off until after because I am not going to deny anyone more delicious pumpkin recipes, oh no, let's keep going!
This bread...THIS Bread, whoa, looks SO delicious! Β I love bread with oatmeal in it (see Oatmeal Cherry Quick Bread, No-Knead Oatmeal Bread) and oatmeal just in general (see Oatmeal Raisin Cranberry Cookies) so when I saw this oatmeal quick bread with pumpkin, I was like, Regina, you are a blogger after my own.
I read through this recipe and it is the real deal. Β All the details are worked out the ginger snap crust, what? Β Now, that's something different! Β And seriously, tasty! Β Love those spice combinations. Β I also love the swirly, marbled effect, very elegant. Β I may be making this one for Thanksgiving, let's re-phrase that, I may be making one for myself and an additional one for Thanksgiving. Β Yes, much more accurate.
I love this parfaitΒ because it is so healthy but I know from the ingredients (bananas, dates...yum!) that it is SWEET for those of us that need our sweet fix, and need it NOW.
I can see these tarts being served for entertaining, they are such cute bites of pumpkin goodness...It's like cute baby pumpkin pies! Β I like that they are vegan too, yes it is possible to be healthy and indulge at the same time - totally possible!
