Whether it’s regular pumpkin pie or a different variation of a pumpkin flavored sweet, everyone loves a fall themed treat around the holidays. Here is a list of seven different pumpkin treats to have around Thanksgiving.
1. Pumpkin Pie
A classic recipe including pumpkin is a simple pumpkin pie. A common dish to find in a buffet of Thanksgiving desserts, it can be made with store bought items or you can customize it to your liking. Either way it will have the delicious taste of pumpkin at the forefront of its flavor. It is also easy to make or purchase pies because their ingredients are fairly simple and ready-made ones are sold at many local supermarkets. You can find a recipe to make it here.
2. Pumpkin Cookies
Pumpkin cookies are not usually found on the table, however they still taste amazing. Using very simple ingredients you can make pumpkin flavored cookies or you can purchase them from a bakery. You can also add cream cheese frosting making it taste slightly sweeter. With or without the frosting they still taste delicious. You can find a recipe for them here.
3. Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes
Next we have pumpkin pie cupcakes. Instead of making a regular pie or a cookie out of the ingredients, you can make cupcakes that will carry the same flavor of pumpkin. Once again using basic ingredients like butter, flour, pumpkin (or pumpkin puree), you can have a batch of cupcakes in ready to eat in 50 minutes. You can find the recipe here.
4. Pumpkin Cheesecake
If you are a fan of cheesecake, this one is for you. Using ingredients to make a cheesecake and adding pumpkin can make all cheesecake fans and pumpkin fans love the taste as well. Do not stop at only having a pumpkin flavor, also add whipped cream to the top and any type of spice to add an extra taste. For example, pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon is recommended for sprinkling on top. You can find a recipe for it here.
5. Four Flavored Pie Sheet
Cannot decide what type of pie you want? Make them all and incorporate them into one pan. Using a larger size pan and cutting it into different sections can allow people to try different types of pie whilst having them all presented in front of them. Normally, people would split it into four different sections including the basic options of apple, pumpkin, pecan, and blueberry pie. But, feel free to take creative liberties with it and have different unique flavors incorporated into the pan. You can find the recipe here.
6. Pumpkin Brownie Swirl Pie
If you are a fan of pumpkin and brownies, this dessert is for you. If making a regular pumpkin pie is too boring or basic for you, add brownie into it. Making a regular pumpkin pie and filling it with brownie filling can become a delicious mix of sweet and rich tastes. You can find a recipe for it here.
7. Pumpkin Roll
Pumpkin rolls not only are delicious but they are also pretty to look at. When making them you add bits and pieces of pecan into the batter to add another kick to the flavor. You can buy them at supermarkets, but if you want to make them at home it is more of a challenge than most might think. Having to roll the roll up is tedious and one small mistake can ruin the pattern. However no matter the design, it tastes good either way. You can find a recipe here.
