Poudre Douce Pumpkin Latte

6 min

Right in the heart of downtown Seattle, we were savoring Fulcrum Coffee's Spiced Latte. We kick it off with a bold shot of espresso, mix in a pumpkin puree-infused syrup, add some sugar, and sprinkle in our Poudre Douce spice. The result? Well, it's not your average spiced latte. It's not cloyingly sweet, but it's incredibly smooth. This blend goes beyond your usual cinnamon kick. The fusion of ginger and allspice takes it to the next level, delivering an indulgent taste that's hard to resist.

Perfect Pumpkin Tea Cake

10 min

Indulge in the moist and flavorful Pumpkin Tea Cake, perfect for the fall season. Infused with the unique Hojicha powder, it unveils a delightful malty and toasted essence. A touch of Roast Chai, with its warm hints of coriander, cinnamon, and clove, adds depth to the cake. Seasoned just right to let the pumpkin shine, it pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea. Whether baked in a tube pan or as mini-loaves, every bite is a gluten-free indulgence that will leave you craving more.

Saffron Pumpkin Crème Brûlée

10 min

There's no shortage of pumpkin pairings these days, and the beloved spicing tends to be loud and proud. But why not switch it up? Winter is long and there are pumpkins aplenty. For a mellow change of pace, we explored a pivot to the sweet side with saffron and vanilla in this decadent pumpkin dessert. Inspired by our friends at Leite's Culinaria and their recipe for Pumpkin Pots de Crème, we set to it. The result? Amazing!!! These individual desserts are both stunning and sublime. The saffron boosts the color of this crème brûlée and the spicing elevates the flavor of the pumpkin rather than overpowering it. We opted for a tidy shortcut with the blender and allowed the flavors to bloom overnight before cooking. The results were delicious. Flecked with saffron and vanilla, the spicing brought out the buttery base of pumpkin in the most delightful way. The technique also makes it easy to whip these up well before a gathering and finish them at the last minute. If you're a planner you can make this impressive recipe days before and no one will ever know.

Gingerbread Pumpkin Butter

15 min

Two holiday favorites were combined into one treat with this recipe and it's easy to make and keep on hand for the whole season. If you're like me, you want any excuse to snack on holiday flavors so we spiced this pumpkin butter with our Gingerbread Spice. It contains all the holiday heavy hitters and is packed with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and, of course, spicy clove and ginger! Once made, you'll find yourself adding this spread to everything from toast, waffles and oatmeal. We created a big batch with this recipe so there will be plenty to go around.

Pumpkin Pie with Apple Butter & Candied Ginger Streusel

This is spiced pumpkin pie is one to love! It's more than minimalist but doesn't try too hard, pleasing both those who love the time honored classic versions and those who want something a little more interesting. Combining apple butter and pumpkin makes the most of falls harvest and the ginger and walnuts in the streusel are a delightful complement. And you can't go wrong with our original twist on Pumpkin Pie Spice, with a hint of orange and a pinch of cayenne, this blend never falls flat. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Pumpkin snickerdoodles are a delicious seasonal twist on a classic favorite! Pumpkin season in full swing, with all kinds of amazing spice combinations! These happy little cookies pair pumpkin with Ras el Hanout, one of our favorite "secret ingredients". The blend is an unexpected twist on traditional pumpkin spice selections. It combines just enough cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and allspice to hit the fall warm and cozy flavor profile, with some floral swirls and peppery peaks to make it unique!

Pumpkin Bread

Yay! Pumpkin season has arrived, and we're kicking it off with pumpkin bread. This recipe is delightfully moist, with a velvety crumb and heavenly spice. Pumpkin bread is a wonderful seasonal treat for breakfast, snacking or dessert. These loaves are not too sweet, and the combination of Kashmiri Garam Masala and Grand Marnier is delicious. The recipe makes two loaves and conveniently uses a single can of pumpkin purée. They come together quick and easy and you can mix up the spice and liquor pairings in all kinds of creative ways.

Pumpkin Rolls with Kashmiri Garam Masala

Take your cinnamon rolls from simple to sensational with the addition of pumpkin and Kashmiri Garam Masala. When I started looking for a pumpkin dessert, because it is that time of year, the thought of pies, cookies and loaves just seemed...boring. Enter the pumpkin rolls. I was SOLD as soon as I saw this post on Smitten Kitchen, and in making them found the recipe spot on! I barely adapted it, just a little spice make-over with one of our secret ingredients, Kashmiri Garam Masala, and some maple in the frosting. The results should be illegal. I know I say that about all the desserts, but this one is seriously irresistible.We opted for maple syrup and buttermilk in the glaze to round out the flavor profile. Next time I think trying coconut oil in place of some of the butter could be tasty, and orange in the frosting. Stay tuned! This one will definitely be back.While the glaze does put them over-the-top, these beauties are so delicious they could stand alone...or with butter...or with maple syrup.

Southwest Pumpkin Soup

This southwest pumpkin soup is a delicious fall treat, perfectly spiced with warm heat from our Chorizo Bomb. Sultry smoke from our perennial favorite, smoked paprika, rounds out the taste. Cooking your own pumpkin for this recipe is really easy, but the canned pureé works fine as well. Serve it up with crusty bread and a nice porter or stout and you’ve got an instant Oktoberfest!
