Fall into French Desserts!

When summer drifts into fall and the weather turns colder, we look for ways to marry two of our favorite things, pumpkin and dessert, of course. Pumpkin is a great addition into many classic desserts, French and otherwise, wonderfully adding both flavor and color. Some of our favorite incorporations of pumpkin, reside in the "creamy" dessert category.

Our very own Pumpkin Cheesecake dessert offering is a prime example of a good incorporation of a seasonal flavor for optimal results. We pair our pumpkin cheesecake mousse with a buttery pecan streusel and then drizzle the whole thing with caramel.

If you're looking to make something festive at home, look for recipes that really play up the pumpkin notes. Spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg work particularly well. Notes of caramel, maple, and cloves also go great with pumpkin.

Some of our favorites (beside pumpkin cheesecake of course) are Pumpkin Creme Caramel (or even Pumpkin Creme Brulee)!

There are plenty of great recipes out there, so choose one that suits both your skill level and palette! Accept the challenge and wow your friends with an autumn twist on a quintessentially French dessert!
