One of the best things about the fall season is the pumpkin-everything obsession. If you aren’t sharing in the pumpkin love you might want to turn away from this list right now, because darlin’, it’s pumping with pumpkin dessert recipes.
This list contains so many pumpkin dessert ideas I think I’m turning orange just reading it.
My love for pumpkin spice and everything nice is quite extensive. I love sweet treats made from the orange vegetable (yep, it’s a veggie) or at least tastes like they are. You’ll find cakes, cookies, pies, and much more, here. All of these yummy desserts have one thing in common…PUMPKIN.
