Four Amazing Pumpkin Desserts to Try This Weekend That Are Not Pie
It started with The Ace Burpee Show discussing pumpkin pie, when we received a text from a listener telling us that she loved the taste of pumpkin but despised pumpkin pie. Her name was Angie. Angie explained that she’s originally from Hawaii and back home, the biggest dessert around this time of year is a Pumpkin Crunch. She makes it for her husband and all his family here and they LOVE it. Angie described it as a cakey pumpkin dessert that is served inverted! We had an enormous amount of texts asking for the recipe as well as a few other texters sharing the pumpkin desserts they love at this time of year. If you love pumpkin, make a list, get your ingredients, and start baking!
