This is like two delicious dessert flavors in one - creamy pumpkin pie paired with rich yellow cake.

Pumpkin Cobbler Style Cake

This homestyle, cozy autumn dessert is something that should be made a least once during the holiday season each year. It comes together in minutes, doesn't require making pie crust and you get the bonus of sweet cake atop.

It's the perfect alternative treat for those who don't prefer pie and would be a welcome addition at a holiday feast.

I've made it the traditional way with box cake mix to make it speedy, though you could try whipping up your own blend if you've got a little extra time (see note below).

It's a no-fuss, minimal effort dessert that uses pantry staples and leaves you with a crowd pleasing old fashioned style, utterly delicious cake!

5-Ingredient Easy Pumpkin Pie https://www.cookingclassy.com/easy-pumpkin-pie/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/easy-pumpkin-pie/#comments Wed, 08 Nov 2023 05:35:23 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=69186 Easy Pumpkin Pie - Homemade pie doesn't get any easier than this! This stream-lined pie is made with just 5 ingredients (and a little salt) and the final outcome is undoubtably satisfying and has all those sweetly spiced autumnal flavors we love!

5 Ingredient Pumpkin Pie!

Wether you are novice pie maker or an experienced baker this no fuss pie is an absolute dream! It takes such minimal effort but makes a perfectly impressive homemade pumpkin pie!

The beneficial ingredients here are sweetened condensed milk and a pumpkin pie spice blend. These slim down the ingredient count, plus who doesn't love sweetened condensed milk anyway? It's such a treat.

It starts with a store-bought pie crust but if you'd prefer you could always swap that out for homemade. If doing so I'd just recommend partially blind baking first so crust doesn't end up soggy, store-bought crusts tend to bake up nicely without this extra step.

This traditionally flavored pie is perfectly pumpkin-y, deliciously spiced, has just enough sweetness, and includes a nice flakey crust to enclose it.

It's worthy of a holiday celebration and no one needs to know just how easy it was for you to prepare.

Just don't forget the billowy, sweetened whipped cream for topping. I'd say that's an absolute must for a pumpkin pie garnish it adds that creamy crowning finish that pairs beautifully with the pie.

Pumpkin Donuts https://www.cookingclassy.com/pumpkin-doughnuts/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/pumpkin-doughnuts/#comments Fri, 27 Oct 2023 17:30:24 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=14022 Easy Pumpkin Donuts are tender, fluffy, cake-like donuts made with a spiced pumpkin batter that bakes up beautifully golden brown and to finish they are dusted with a sweet cinnamon sugar coating. These baked donuts are such a tempting fall treat!

Homemade Pumpkin Donuts

These pumpkin donuts are one of the tastiest baked donuts, you'll be craving them as soon as fall rolls around.

They don't require any extra rise time (since they aren't a yeasted donut) and no deep frying messiness here. Plus no mixer required here, just a quick blend by hand for this donut batter.

They are baked in the oven in donut pans (or try mini muffin pans if you don't have donut pans), then after that while they are warm they are rolled in sweet cinnamon sugar.

I like to serve them with hot cocoa, warm apple cider, coffee, or you can't go wrong with a tall glass of milk.

They are perfectly fitting for an after dinner dessert or they make an excellent weekend breakfast treat. And there are lots of different additions you can add like finishing with a chocolate glaze or adding chopped nuts (more ideas below).

Pumpkin desserts are a seasonal staple and donuts are one of the most popular sweets, so bring them together and you have a truly memorable, completely crave-able donut treat!

Easy Canned Pumpkin Soup https://www.cookingclassy.com/pumpkin-soup/ https://www.cookingclassy.com/pumpkin-soup/#comments Sat, 29 Oct 2022 03:14:25 +0000 https://www.cookingclassy.com/?p=65525 The easiest, tastiest canned Pumpkin Soup recipe! This creamy, cozy soup is one of the ultimate fall soups. It's warmly spiced, perfectly sip-able, and those toppings of salty smoked bacon and crunchy pumpkin seeds take it over the top!

This post is sponsored by Danish Creamery. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Best Pumpkin Soup!

This is my idea of the best pumpkin soup! It's like autumn in a bowl and it has such an inviting flavor. Plus, it couldn't be easier.

No chopping, seeding, roasting, or pureeing pumpkin is necessary in this recipe. Believe it or not, this starts with canned pumpkin and you will be wowed by the end result!

Part of the secret to what makes it so good is the indulgent Danish Creamery Butter. This premium butter takes a bland fruit or veggie and turns it into something that is perfectly highlighted with rich flavor (sometimes I even sneak in 2 extra tablespoons of the butter!).

Danish Creamery has been using the same recipe to make their butter since 1895. Using just two ingredients, high-quality cream and a touch of sea salt.

It’s just the way butter should be. It's the perfect compliment to this soup!

Wondering what to serve with this pumpkin soup? It pairs beautifully with rustic bread for dipping (a hearty French bread or whole wheat are great options), and a fall-inspired side salad such as this delicious kale salad.

These tender, cake-like, decadent sandwich cookies are a tasty highlight of fall!

Perfect Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

We all love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, but have you tried pumpkin whoopie pies yet?

They are very similar but rather than being dotted with dark chocolate chips two cookies are layered and meld together with a rich cream cheese frosting in the center. So it's like an irresistible cake but in single serve cookie form, and they're easier to make!

These soft and fluffy cookies are delicious rolled in chopped pecans or walnuts which also adds a light crunch. Or you could try adding some chocolate chips to the cookie dough for an extra decadence.

Try them at least once this fall, you won't regret it!

They're perfectly pumpkin-y, deliciously rich and buttery, and they are finished with heavenly cream cheese frosting. A fall staple every year!

Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

A simple treat that makes enough for a small crowd or dessert you can enjoy throughout the busy week. These pumpkin bars are one of my favorite things to make this time of year!

They have the perfect medium density to them. I switched from oil to butter, and cut back on the leavening and the eggs from 4 to 2 (vs. the traditional recipe).

They have just the right level of sweetness. We use a combo of caramel-like brown sugar and granulated sugar. Then of course powdered sugar for the frosting. This is a dessert after all.

And you'll find they have plenty enough spice and pumpkin flavor. I'm not a fan of pumpkin recipes that try to use just a little pumpkin for a chewy texture or something. You might as well just make a spiced dessert and not even waste that can of pumpkin.

Then of course what would they be without that dreamy frosting? It's a decadent finishing touch that really leaves everyone craving more.

You'll love how easy these are to make, plus they freeze well too.

I think they ought to be the first thing on the fall to do list this year!
