32 Pumpkin Dessert Recipes
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! Any one of these could be a real winner after dinner and or a holiday gathering.
Easy Pumpkin Cake Recipe With Cake Mix
Abeer from Cake Whiz knows her cakes. She has an impressive collection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and treats. In awe of her mastery of "cake-dom." I love how festive this cake is but totally attainable to someone that doesn't decorate cakes all day. I could see it like a good birthday cake for someone who has a birthday around Halloween. (i.e. Hubby).
Crescent Pumpkin Pie recipe
I am loving this unique recipe from Holly of Spend with Pennies. Ooooh, I want one right now with my tea!
Brazilian Pumpkin Flan
I really like flan and a pumpkin flan is something that just goes. Brilliant!
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Salted Pumpkin Seeds
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! Lovin' it.
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Sugar
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! Lovin' it.
White Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge with Bourbon-Candied Pecans
This fudge recipe is gluten-free. I love a good fudge recipe and now I have a pumpkin one.
Pumpkin Cake - Crockpot Dessert
I have never tried baking in my slower but after seeing this, I'm going to try now! I love that ooey gooey caramel sauce, it looks like it would be a real crowd pleaser! I love that giant jar of caramel sauce that's casually hanging around in the background of this picture, oh yum.
Pumpkin Tiramisu
I <3 tiramisu, I really do. 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. I also pinned her Pumpkin Spice Cannoli recipe that looks amazing.
Pumpkin Muffin Recipe
Meggan from Culinary Hill shares her family recipe for Pumpkin Muffins. The fact that this is her mother's recipe that she grew up with stands out to me. I love how recipes are passed down through generations and now she's sharing this with all of us!
Pumpkin Mini Bundt Cakes with Apple Cider Sauce
These look, just, lovely. I love the food styling in this picture (I want that spoon!), it's so dreamy and of course the food!
Pumpkin Almond Cookies for Halloween and Thanksgiving
Aren't these the cutest? They look so festive and fun. Valentina of Cooking on the Weekends also has a 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.
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Mug Cake
Thank you Alissa (of Connoisseurs VEG) for sharing this, now it is in my life, and others too. This is something that I can whip up after my toddler goes to bed. This is a small wonder, this is.
Pumpkin Pie Egg Rolls w/ White Chocolate Whip & Caramel
This recipe is so unique and looks incredibly tasty. Trevor and Jennifer also made a helpful video which is on their blog. 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.
Pumpkin Cheesecake with Bourbon Chocolate Sauce
I find the bourbon chocolate sauce in this pumpkin cheesecake intriguing; I love different flavors and the presentation is gorgeous. 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.
Delicious Paleo & Vegan Pumpkin Pie
I like that this recipe uses coconut sugar, coconut milk, and flax, three ingredients that are always in my kitchen. 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.
Grain Free Buñuelos de Calabaza (Grain Free Pumpkin Fritters)
I like this one because it is different, I do not see pumpkin fritters often in my online travels and now I have. I love the idea! 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.
Glazed Pumpkin Cookies (Gluten-Free)
Cookies with a glaze, oh man, these look so good and according to her blog post, very addicting too! I have been thinking about these all day, I have to bake them.
No Bake Pumpkin Pie w/ Gingerbread Hazelnut Crust
Don't feel like turning on the oven? Here's a "no-bake," vegan dessert idea! Isn't this picture so festive and pretty? Those plates! I want! She also has a recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies which I pinned to my Pumpkin everything board.
Pumpkin Cake Roll Recipe
Mira from Cooking LSL always has yummy recipes and this one is no exception. 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.
Vegan Pumpkin Pie
I am a fan of vegan recipes, most that I come across always taste so good. 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!
2 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins
Do these look scrumptious? Um, YES! And only 2 ingredients? Alright! I love the use of natural parchment paper as well. Olivia from Liv for Cake has some stellar recipes on her fantastic blog.
This is the best Pumpkin Pie ever, seriously!
My love of pumpkin flavor all goes back to a classic pumpkin pie - much like this one.
Mini Low Carb Pumpkin Pie Recipe for an Easy Pumpkin Dessert!
I have those same white ramekins! 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! Denise from My Life Cookbook also has a great Protein Ice Cream (also low carb), which I pinned to my Pumpkin Everything board.
Sweet Potato Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Diane, Dave, and Kaytie from Homemade Food Junkie don't mess around. They have many, many delicious recipes on their fabulous blog. This one I am definitely making. I have always wanted to make a sweet potato pie, why not one with pumpkin while I am at it?
Cheesecake Swirled Pumpkin Brownies
Oh, do I love a good brownie. Cheesecake and Pumpkin brownies? Now, these I gotta try!
spiced pumpkin muffins | butter loves company
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 😉
Soft Baked Gluten Free Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Pumpkin Cookies and Gluten-Free, what a win! I have someone in my family that is gluten-free so I will be making these for them and a whole batch for myself.
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. YES! 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 RAN 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!
Pumpkin Loaf Recipe with Pepita Praline » LeelaLicious
This bread...THIS Bread, whoa, looks SO delicious! 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.
Pumpkin Cheesecake
I read through this recipe and it is the real deal. All the details are worked out the ginger snap crust, what? Now, that's something different! And seriously, tasty! Love those spice combinations. I also love the swirly, marbled effect, very elegant. 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. Yes, much more accurate.
Pumpkin Pie Parfait
I love this parfait 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.
Pumpkin Tarts with Chai Hazelnut Crust (vegan)
I can see these tarts being served for entertaining, they are such cute bites of pumpkin goodness...It's like cute baby pumpkin pies! I like that they are vegan too, yes it is possible to be healthy and indulge at the same time - totally possible!
