Spiced Pumpkin Pudding Cakes

It's Always Freezer Season

If you're looking for an unusual pumpkin dessert, these Spiced Pumpkin Pudding Cakes might be the right option. It is a good fall (or winter) dessert that you can make ahead and freeze for later, freeing up some time on the day of if you're entertaining company. It makes 24 servings, too! All you have to do is re-warm them in the microwave and whip some cream, and there you go.

They may look like cupcakes, but they're really closer to a sticky toffee pudding (thus the name.) I think they would be even better served on a puddle of caramel sauce, but I haven't tried that yet. Good thing I have plenty in my freezer; I'll have to try that addition next time.

I was pretty shocked that my son loved them so much he asked for a second serving!

We used freshly roasted and pureed pumpkin, but a can would be absolutely fine here, and is in fact what the recipe calls for. We just had some pumpkin we wanted to use up, and it's pretty easy to make yourself.
