This week we’re looking for your favorite caramel recipes!
It’s time for another #DessertChallenge Party sponsored by Sheryl from The Lady Behind the Curtain . Thanks Sheryl for another fun challenge!
This month we’re pairing classic pumpkin and cream cheese in exciting new ways!
I chose to try a dessert pizza. The crust has a boost of flavor from the addition of pumpkin pie spice. Cinnamon adds a kick to pureed pumpkin layer. Whipped cream cheese is so spreadable and a sprinkle of toasted pecans finishes off the “pizza”. I dusted the top with a little cinnamon-sugar for good measure.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
Mix together yeast, warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Set in a warm area and allow starter to double in size (10 to 15 minutes).
In a large bowl, mix together flour, spice and remaining sugar. Blend in 3 Tablespoons pumpkin and yeast mixture.
Knead until thoroughly mixed. Roll dough into a 9-inch circle. Cover and allow dough to rise until almost doubled in thickness, about 15 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 5 to 10 minutes until baked through and crust is lightly browned. Cool before topping.
Topping:
Mix together pumpkin, powdered sugar and cinnamon. Spread over crust.
Spread cream cheese over pumpkin layer.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts and cinnamon/sugar if desired.
Refrigerate until serving time and refrigerate any leftovers.

Mocha Cupcakes with Candy Corn Glaze
Ingredients
Cake
Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir to wet dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes to incorporate a bit of air. Those bubbles make your cake ever so light! 🙂
Pour batter into cupcake liners and bake at 350 ° for 10 to 15 minutes and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Glaze
Melt candy corn with cream over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until melted. Cool slightly and spread on cooled cupcakes. Add candy corn pieces or nuts if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate. The glaze will be affected by room temperature and humidity, so adjust storage accordingly.
