Pumpkin Marshmallow Cake
If you’re looking for a no-bake showstopper, this pumpkin marshmallow cake is it.
The oat cookie crust is buttery and crisp, while the fluffy pumpkin marshmallow cheesecake filling is sweet, creamy, and totally irresistible.
Topped with pillowy marshmallows, it’s a fun and festive dessert that’s made for sharing at autumn parties.
Pumpkin Sugar Cookies With Cream Cheese Frosting
These soft pumpkin sugar cookies are a slightly healthier version of a classic fall recipe, made with wholemeal flour and coconut sugar.
Each cookie is frosted with a rich cream cheese icing and finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon, turning them into a beautiful dessert-worthy cookie.
They’re great for baking with kids, sharing with neighbors, or just enjoying with a warm mug of tea this fall.
Pumpkin Mousse
This pumpkin mousse is a light and fluffy dessert that feels like a sweet little cloud of fall spices!
Made with whipped egg whites, whipped cream, and pumpkin puree, it’s silky smooth and bursting with warm cinnamon and nutmeg flavors.
This mousse dessert is the perfect finish to any fall meal, whether it’s casual or a little fancier.
Pumpkin Cookies With Cream Cheese Icing
These chewy pumpkin cookies with cream cheese icing are the kind that disappear fast from the dessert table!
They’re made with yummy fall spices like cinnamon and pumpkin spice, wholemeal flour and caramelly coconut sugar, then topped with a luscious cream cheese icing and a sprinkle of crushed walnuts.
I love baking these for the holiday dessert table or packaging them up as sweet little seasonal gifts!
Pumpkin Dip With Cream Cheese
This creamy pumpkin dip is totally dessert-worthy! It’s made with rich cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and warm pumpkin pie spices, blended into a beautifully velvety and flavorful dip.
I love serving it with fruits like crisp apple slices and pears, or if I’m in the mood for something sweeter, with vanilla wafers, or even pretzels for a little salty-sweet twist.
It’s quick to whip up and makes the perfect appetizer or dessert dip for fall parties or just a cozy movie night in.
Healthier Pumpkin Bars With Sugar-Free Frosting
These pumpkin bars are soft, moist, and made with applesauce for a naturally sweetened treat.
The light, sugar-free frosting makes the perfect creamy topping without weighing things down.
They’re a guilt-free way to get your pumpkin fix and make a lovely option for weekday baking or a lighter dessert after dinner.
Pumpkin Yogurt Parfait Cups
These layered pumpkin yogurt parfait cups are a lighter take on pumpkin dessert that still gives you all those cozy fall vibes.
With gingersnap cookies crumbled between creamy pumpkin yogurt and topped with fluffy whipped cream, each spoonful is a little burst of pumpkin spice heaven.
They’re so easy to make that they make for a perfect weeknight dessert, too!
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Frosting
These pumpkin cupcakes are soft, spiced, and just the right amount of sweet.
The frosting that is made with Greek yogurt and pumpkin puree adds a creamy, tangy layer that makes them feel both indulgent and light at the same time.
These little treats are great for everything from fall bake sales to afternoon snacks.
Pumpkin Pie With Toasted Pumpkin Meringue Topping
If you’re looking for a fresh take on pumpkin pie, this recipe is the one to try.
The filling is rich and creamy with cinnamon and pumpkin spice, but what really sets it apart is the fluffy toasted pumpkin meringue on top.
That golden finish gives it a bakery-style look without much extra effort, and honestly, it’s just plain delicious.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse Cups
If you’re a fan of no-bake desserts, you’re going to love these pumpkin cheesecake mousse cups!
They start with a buttery cookie crumb base and are layered with a silky mousse made from cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and whipped cream, then topped off with even more whipped cream for good measure.
It’s an elegant, airy dessert that feels special enough for guests on Thanksgiving but simple enough to whip up on a weeknight.
Pumpkin Tiramisu
This pumpkin tiramisu is a lighter take on the classic dessert recipe and brings all the fall vibes.
Made with layers of ladyfingers, mascarpone/Greek yogurt cream, and pumpkin puree, it’s creamy, perfectly spiced, and just sweet enough to still count as a snack.
It’s a beautiful make-ahead dessert that tastes as good as it looks on the party table.
