Post Ideas for Leftover Pumpkin

Sometimes I may have 1/4 C to 1/2 C leftover canned pumpkin. Here is a recipe that uses 1/4 C. You can substitute ladyfingers with slightly crushed biscoff cookies, gingerbread, pumpkin bread, etc. Source: http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/mini-pumpkin-tiramisu/

Mini Pumpkin Tiramisu

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

For the Lady Finger Layer

3 ounce package of lady fingers
1 teaspoon instant espresso granules; dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water

For the Pumpkin Sour Cream Layer

8 ounces of cream cheese; room temperature
1/4 cup Breakstone’s Sour Cream
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup pumpkin
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Whipped Topping Layer

1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Breakstone’s sour cream, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin, sugar and vanilla until well mixed. Set aside.

2. To make the whipped topping, beat the heavy whipping cream, vanilla and sugar until the mixture creates stiff peaks.

3. Lightly brush the lady fingers with the espresso until dampened on both sides (do not over saturate).

4. Using your mini parfait glass as a template, cut out 12 circles from the lady fingers.

5. Gently place a lady finger circle into the bottom of each mini parfait glass.

6. Generously spoon or pipe the pumpkin layer over the lady fingers

7. Spoon or pipe the whipped topping directly onto the pumpkin layer.

8. Repeat layering a second time to fill the parfait glasses.

Notes: If desired, finish with a sprinkling of chocolate shavings.
