If you're like many people who love autumn, you've probably already enjoyed your first pumpkin latte of the season at your favorite coffee shop. And you're likely looking forward to that first piece of pumpkin pie — but you probably also know that plain pumpkin pie can get less exciting as the season progresses. Fortunately, there are many ways to enjoy the taste of pumpkin, especially if you like it sweet. The following are just five ways that residents of apartments in Dallas can enjoy seasonal pumpkin sweetness in desserts when traditional pumpkin pies get old.
Pumpkin Mousse
All you have to do to make pumpkin mousse is replace the melted chocolate in your favorite chocolate mousse recipe with pureed pumpkin. Adding a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg gives it an extra layer of seasonal flavor. Since the flavors of chocolate and pumpkin go well together, add a drizzle of rich chocolate syrup across the top of the mousse just prior to serving.
Pumpkin Brownies
Pumpkin brownies are another sweet treat you can easily prepare by exchanging the chocolate in the recipe for pureed pumpkin. These are even better when you top them off with cream cheese frosting.
Pumpkin Cheesecake
This one calls for adding pumpkin puree to a classic New York cheesecake. Instead of a classic crust, though, consider using a crust of crushed sugar cookies to complement the pumpkin flavor. This dessert makes an excellent alternative to pumpkin pie during holiday feasts.
Pumpkin Bread Pudding
This one takes a while to make, but the results are well worth it. You'll first have to bake a loaf of pumpkin bread, let it cool, and then use your favorite bread pudding recipe to finish the job. It's best served warm with freshly whipped cream.
Pumpkin Spice Cake
Adding pumpkin puree to your favorite spice cake recipe gives it an extra-special holiday accent. Top with caramel frosting and a sprinkle of mixed nuts for an extra layer of goodness.
