Cheesecake Caramel Pumpkin Cups Recipe posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe These Cheesecake Caramel Pumpkin Cups are a perfect way to enjoy the fall season. These are yummy and a good small treat to eat. I’m all about cookie cups lately. Can’t stop making them. Don’t know why I’d want to anyhow. They’re absolutely fantastic! Quick. Easy. Bite sized. And it’s a cookie + frosting– which I’m always a fan of. This particular cookie cup combines some of my very favorite fall flavors: cheesecake, caramel, pumpkin, and chocolate chips 🙂 Ingredients: 1 recipe Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (follows) 1 recipe Cheesecake Buttercream (follows) Prepared or store bought caramel sauce Chopped Pecans (optional) Mini Muffin Tin Be sure to also follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, and in the Something Swanky Dessert Recipes Facebook group!

Pipe the cream cheese frosting on top of the caramel sauce.Optional: garnish each cookie cup with a pecan.Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Notes * You can use store-bought or homemade caramel sauce. Here is the recipe I like to use for homemade. And I love using Mrs. Richardson brand caramel sauce (I'll link to it in the products below).** Freel free to use a store-bought cream cheese frosting. But here are a couple of homemade recipes that I love: This recipe is my favorite tasting cream cheese frosting. However, it's not firm enough to pipe well.This recipe for cream cheese frosting (ignore the gingerbread portion of the recipe) pipes like a dream. But it has equal parts cream cheese and butter, so the "cheesecake" taste isn't as prominent as it is my other frosting recipe. Try more recipes like these Cheesecake Caramel Pumpkin Cups! Dirt Cupcakes Chocolate cupcakes with whipped chocolate ganache dipped in Oreo crumbs and topped with a candy coated strawberry (that looks like a carrot!). These dirt cupcakes are perfect for springtime! Spider Web Donuts For Halloween Double chocolate donuts with easy spider webs on top for Halloween! I prefer using a piping bag and frosting tip to make the spider webs, but technically you could simply snip a small corner off a gallon-size ziptop bag and use that instead. Adding plastic spiders on top of each donut would be super cute! If you don’t have a donut pan, you could also bake the batter into muffins and still pipe spider webs on top. You could reverse the flavors of frosting on the top and dip the donuts in white frosting and use chocolate frosting to pipe on the spider webs. Whatever your personal preference is! Grandmas pig Cake Moist, fluffy, buttery yellow cake filled with juicy mandarin oranges topped with a cool, creamy pineapple and whipped cream frosting– Grandma’s Pig Cake is the ultimate summer time dessert!

Yum! DH and I don’t care for pumpkin pie, so I’m exploring other pumpkin options for this fall! My mom has a cookie cup maker appliance. She never uses it and I keep meaning to get it from her. But it bakes the dough (or once we did tortillas) into cup shapes. They’re great! Reply
