As basic as they sound, I really love pumpkin pie and pumpkin spice cake. I made pumpkin spice cupcakes the other night, and they were delicious!
I love pumpkin spiced breads–scones, sweet bread, muffins, etc. And I love that pumpkin custard cake made with yellow cake mix. And I have a friend whose mother-in-law makes a divine pumpkin pie with a praline layer.
Ohhhh… pumpkin rolls are my FAVORITE! I could eat a whole one by myself. I was so intimidated the first time I made one. Now I make at least two every year. Yummmmmmm!!!!!
I love this pumpkin trifle my mother-in-law makes. Delicious!
My favorite pumpkin recipe is the pumpkin roll!!!!
3 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Pumpkin
1 teaspoon Lemon juice
3/4 cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Salt
.
Filling:
8 ounces Cream cheese — softened
4 tablespoons Butter — or margarine
1 cup Powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Preparation:
In large bowl, combine eggs and sugar, beating with an electric mixer until thick and light yellow in color. Add pumpkin and lemon juice, mixing until blended.
In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Add to egg mixture, mixing well. Spread batter into greased and waxed-paper lined 10-by-15-inch jelly-roll pan.
Bake at 350 ° for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool for 15 minutes. Place cake on clean tea towel sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar. Cool 10 minutes longer. From 10- inch side, roll cake up in towel. Set aside.
While cake is cooling in towel, prepare filling. Beat together cream cheese and butter; stir in powdered sugar and vanilla and blend until smooth.
Unroll cake. Evenly spread filling over cake. Roll up cake (without the towel). Wrap in plastic wrap. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Slice before serving. Keep leftover slices refrigerated. This pumpkin roll freezes well.
I love pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting. The kids love to help too.
My favorite pumpkin desert would have to be pumpkin whoopie pies I made them last year for the first time and they were such a hit I am definitely making them again this year.
I would have to say old fashioned pumpkin pie is my favorite pumpkin dessert. Its a classic! Although, my mom makes a great pumpkin coffee cake thats fantastic!
Oh, I LOVE anything fall and/or pumpkin! My favorites are pumpkin shampoo and pumpkin lattes and pumpkin BREAD!
My all time favorite fall dessert is definitely pumpkin pie! In my family we always use the Libby’s recipe and our own homemade crust made with extra light olive oil…so flaky and yummy! Even my pickiest eaters will gobble up pumpkin pie everytime! Oh, and we also love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies…amazing!
My favorite is the pumpkin roll filled with TONS of cream cheese. YUMMY!
I just made ooey gooey pumpkin spice bars for my coworkers. They loved them. The spice cake mix made a gingerbread-y crust and the ooey gooey came from pumpkin and cream cheese.
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Maple Cream Cheese filling…soooooo yummy!
I love a family favorite, pumpkin chiffon pie, but I also love pumpkin bars and bread and muffins and cakes.
Hmmm…that’s a hard one. Either pumpkin pie, or pumpkin muffins. But, then again, pumpkin cookies with mini chocolate chips are divine too! 😉
Unfortunately I have just discovered my love for pumpkin!!!Sad, I know! I’ve only made a handful of things but the easiest recipe I have tried is a box of spike cake mix and can of pure pumpkin. Delicious and so easy!
I love pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting or pumpkin chocolate chip cookies–yum!
these pans all look so fun. I love to collect different pans even if they are only used once a year! I love pumpkin roll and pumpkin bars
My favorite pumpkin dessert is pumpkin cheesecake! I think this year my boyfriend wants me to try mini pumpkin cheesecakes so hopefully I get around to that here pretty soon! These pans are adorable though!
OOO! I looove eating pumpkin pie! but I love making pumpkin cookies. They are so easy. add chocolate chips, nuts, or drizzle them with chocolate. Easy way to change up this classic recipe!
I would love to win this! I’m obsessed with all things pumpkin lately! My favorite pumpkin dessert is pumkin cheesecake bars.

I just made some pumpkin bread and it had dry pudding in it. I was sooo good! The next day it was cold in the fridge and actually tasted like pumpkin pudding!!
Yummy!

What a great giveaway! I think my favorite is my Mom’s pumpkin chiffon recipe – light and fluffy with pumpkin and coconut! I think it’s a pie recipe, but often we just eat the filling as a pudding. Mmmmm!
I love to make pumpkin muffins. My whole family loves them.
I make a killer pumpkin roll! Even my MIL loves them!!
I love the pumpkin bars my colleague makes – they have an amazing cream cheese frosting. I make them too but they always taste better when someone else makes them 🙂
