Holiday Dessert Recipes

[sherryinutah]

I love hanging out on the Food.com website when it's time to put together food for the holidays.

This year someone was kind enough to give me a couple of cans of pumpkin.  I'm trying to decide if I want to use a cream cheese frosting or throw some whipping cream on top.

Below is a recipe for pumpkin bars that has 55 5 star ratings on Food.com:

4 large eggs
1 2⁄3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups mashed pumpkin
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt


Preheat oven to 350°.  Beat together the sugar, oil, eggs and pumpkin.  Sift dry ingredients and add slowly to pumpkin mixture.  Mix well.  Pour into a 15x10x1 pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Cool completely.

I'll probably use some brown rice flour so I can experience these puppies being gluten free.

Sounds good but would have a lot of calories

Thanks for sharing!  I may try the pumpkins bars...they sound delicious! I love the cream cheese frosting idea.

I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year so I've just started organizing recipes. I wanted to have some traditional favorites and then introduce some new dishes/recipes.

Food.com offers a variety of recipes to prepare annually.  They have a lot of great recipes to prepare for family, church and other times for celebration.  I have downloaded a few recipes from food.com.

I love trying out new recipes. But hubby does not like pumpkin so am not going to make this one. But for me it sounds yummy. Thanks for the recipe.

Sounds delicious! Holidays are meant for lots of calories and things you don't eat very often. I also recommend looking for recipes on Pinterest. So many good ones!
