Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Year after year, these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies prove to be one of our most popular fall desserts, and I can see why. Adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to a classic cookie dough results in a heavenly, pillow-like cookie loaded with major autumn vibes.

Pumpkin Soup

Of all of the pumpkin-powered delicacies, nothing goes the distance all fall and winter long quite like pumpkin soup. Pumpkin soup is warming and welcoming from the first chill in the air to the last lingering cold days. Plus, it's the perfect way to use up any spare cans of pumpkin in the pantry after the holidays.

Pumpkin Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Bars

With a simple Oreo crust, these pumpkin crème brûlée cheesecake bars are EVERYTHING. The crème brûlée-inspired sugar topping will make these stand out above all the rest. The pumpkin bars stay creamy and rich, while the sugar topping becomes caramelized and lightly golden. They're stunning to present, and even more incredible to eat.

Frozen Pumpkin Spice Latte

The pumpkin spice latte, or PSL, has become a cultural phenomenon, with large coffee chains like Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts racing to launch it earlier each year. I look forward to its return every year, marking the unofficial start of fall, so I created a frozen boozy latte inspired by this iconic beverage to enjoy year-round.

Pumpkin Bread

While we’ll find a way to devour nearly anything pumpkin-related come fall, pumpkin bread is our go-to classic for nearly every meal—as breakfast, a snack, or even an after-dinner dessert. Easy to whip together, this quick bread is super-moist and tender with just the right amount of pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pumpkin cheesecake is the prima donna of all the holiday desserts: rich, decadent, and always a bit over the top. For this, our forever favorite version, we’ve stripped it right back and returned the focus to its true essence: a thick, crunchy crust, and a super-creamy, super-pumpkiny filling.

Creamy Pumpkin Gnocchi With Italian Sausage

In the fall, we go wild for all things pumpkin. Rightfully so, it’s one of the premiere flavors of the season! But it’s not just for treats, pumpkin is also INSANELY good in savory recipes. It’s comforting yet just a touch sweet and nutty, like a sweet potato or butternut squash.

Making your own pumpkin spice latte at home is dangerously easy, and so much faster than waiting in the drive-thru. You don't need any fancy coffee equipment to make these homemade lattes—all you need are a few fall kitchen staples and your coffee to create this pumpkin-lover's dream.

Pumpkin Spice White Russians

We gave the classic cocktail a fall twist in this recipe with the addition of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and a graham cracker rim. Not only is it a delicious fall cocktail, but it couldn’t be easier to create. Trust us, PSL fans—this twist on the classic White Russian will be your go-to all season long.

Pumpkin Spice Gooey Bars

Fall dessert baking means turning some of our favorite desserts, like the gooey butter cake, into a pumpkin spice version. This cake is meant to be fall-apart gooey, and the moisture in the pumpkin makes this version perfect. It should still jiggle in the center when it comes out of the oven and will firm up a bit as it cools, not unlike a pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Lasagna

Sure, pumpkin pie is delicious, but when you have family over and mouths to feed, spending hours making pie isn't exactly feasible. This over-the-top cheesecake lasagna, though? It takes 30 minutes to throw together, and once it's assembled, the refrigerator does the rest. Talk about a no-fuss Thanksgiving treat!

Pumpkin Risotto

Popular in Northern Italy (as well as the rest of the world now), risotto has countless versions and variations. My version here would be called risotto alla zucca because it contains pumpkin, sage, ricotta salata, and nutmeg. I love incorporating pumpkin in countless savory recipes, but this is the creamy fall dinner I turn to when I'm craving something extra-special and comforting.

Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

When the weather isn't cold enough for a pumpkin spice latte, a pumpkin cream cold brew is the perfect compromise. Making one at home is simple and worth making your own cold brew for, don't worry—you can always use your favorite store-bought cold brew or iced coffee to speed the process up. It's all about that pumpkin topping anyways!
