Warm and spicy, this pumpkin bread is one of my absolute favorite fall recipes. Slather a slice with a little flavored butter. Cinnamon butter would be especially nice on this pumpkin bread.

Like pumpkin pie in a glass, these pumpkin smoothies are like an icy, pumpkin milkshake (but with a lot more vitamins and a lot less fat and calories than a typical milkshake). These smoothies make a fantastic breakfast on Thanksgiving morning.

Ice cream-lovers rejoice! This is one of those pumpkin desserts that's designed especially for you. If you don't like traditional pumpkin pie, try this pumpkin ice cream pie instead. It's cool and frosty and tastes great topped with warm caramel sauce.
10. Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe
Stephanie Gallagher
Pumpkin cheesecake is becoming one of the more popular desserts for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But a lot of people find making cheesecake frustrating, because it can crack and become grainy. Not this pumpkin cheesecake. I bake it in a 200-degree oven for 6-8 hours. Yes, hours. The slow cooking process keeps this pumpkin cheesecake recipe smooth and creamy.
