You don't have to worry about a shortage of pumpkin puree, but you will likely encounter the dilemma of what to do with a half-used container of solid pack pumpkin. Sure — you could make the traditional pumpkin pie, but why not think outside the box can? Here are 10 wonderful ways to use pumpkin.
It's that time of year when pumpkin is popping up everywhere from cocktail menus to frozen yogurt shops. While I love a good pumpkin dessert, be it pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, or pumpkin cookies, not everyone is a fan of the taste and texture. How do you feel about them?
Sick of cupcakes? Why not give the whoopie pie a chance? Part cookie, part cake, the only similarity a whoopie pie has to an actual pie is its circular shape. Whoopie pies are more like an inside-out cupcake. Instead of placing the frosting on top of a mini cake, the frosting is sandwiched between two mini cakes.
Get in the spirit of Fall with this super-simple recipe for pumpkin whoopie pies. No fancy standing mixer is required, and the quick-bake time (10 minutes) means you can put a finger-licking-good dessert together at the last minute. The filling is a classic cream cheese frosting that pairs perfectly with the moist fluffy pumpkin cakes. Check out the uncomplicated recipe after the break.
