There are so many really good (& fun) fall recipes in this week’s Saturday Seven- coffee creamer, butter, muffins, dessert dip, trifles and even mini pie bites! I am telling you I couldn’t choose a favorite if I tried. One thing I do love about all of them is that they are EASY & QUICK to make. On top of that, I’m sure there’s something here for everyone, even the most ardent of pumpkin spice opposers!

7 Best Pumpkin Desserts & Treat Recipes

No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifles

This quick & easy no bake pumpkin cheesecake recipe with velvety, rich layers of pumpkin cheesecake, regular cheesecake, crunchy gingersnaps, chocolate cookies and whipped topping is a guaranteed showstopper for the holidays!  Everyone loves having their own dessert, but no one needs to know it only took you 20 minutes to whip them ALL up!

Whipped Pumpkin Honey Butter

Whipped fluffy with real butter, pumpkin puree, golden honey, cinnamon and other warm fall spices, a generous spread of this easy Pumpkin Honey Butter turns holiday dinner rolls, biscuits, cornbread, muffins, pancakes and all sorts of baked goods into an instant fall treat!

Pumpkin Butterscotch Dip

What’s better than a yummy pumpkin fluff layered in a parfait or dessert?  A Pumpkin Butterscotch Dip born of a fluff recipe but destined to make its home on pretzels, apples, graham crackers and cookies.  Deep, rich butterscotch is the perfect fall partner for the flavor of pumpkin and spices, just adding a depth of flavor, a smoothness, that compliments without competing. Once you try this dessert dip, you can throw all your other pumpkin dip recipes away!  It’s just that good.

Best Pumpkin Muffins with Easy Streusel Topping

This is the best pumpkin muffin recipe! Light and tender with warm spices, these soft muffins are full of real pumpkin with an easy streusel topping of brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and pumpkin seeds for a genuine bakery/coffee shop experience at home!

Pumpkin Chocolate Delight with Pretzel Crust

This easy-to-make Pumpkin Chocolate Delight with a crunchy Pretzel Crust fits perfectly fits bill when it comes to celebrating delicious pumpkin! With a salty, buttery-rich pretzel crust, soft cream cheese layer, a white chocolate pumpkin fluff all topped with whipped cream, chocolate chips and more pretzels, this isn’t your ordinary 4-layer dessert.  It’s an “oh my! Grab yourself a fork and let's dig in right now!"

Pumpkin Mocha Coffee Creamer
