Pull apart Pumpkin bread


I believe we found it on Pinterest. I'm not sure though because i didn't find it. Its basically just bread with pumpkin and a lot of sugar in it. It was pretty good except for some reason it was still doughy when we started to eat it. I liked how it tasted it was really sweet. I loved the frosting stuff as well it was pretty good. The only thing i really didn't like was that it was doughy. It would have taken to long to make if we didn't use a different kind of dough though. That might have been why it was doughy. I would probably serve it with a thanksgiving meal, stuffing, turkey etc... There really isn't anything I'd change about it.

Pumpkin Pillow


The Pumpkin Pillows were really good, they had powered sugar on them with pumpkin, creams cheese and a lot of other stuff inside of it that made it really good. Then the dipping sauce had carmel and sour cream mixed together. I think this would be a really good dessert for Thanksgiving.

the best of both swirls

In my opinion it tasted more like a cinnamon roll with a hint of pumpkin... The glaze was a little to runny, but it looks delicious and was very good.  we changed the recipe by using crescent rolls instead of making it from scratch. the taste kind of caught me off guard. I would of served it with a glass of milk.

Swirled Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake

Recipe from-www.womansday.com/recipefinder/swirled-pumpkin-chocolate-cheesecake-recipe-124670
Swirled Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake would make a good meal for desert at a Thanksgiving dinner
The main ingredients are one can of pumpkin,chocolate chips, and cream cheese
It was still slightly warm when I first ate it but it will probably taste much better when it has cooled you could taste both the pumpkin and the chocolate in it
It was easy to make because of the ingredients for it were simple it actually didn't take a whole lot to make it it took 1/4 cup of unsalted butter,1 package of chocolate wafers,3 packages of cream cheese,etc

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies




Recipe from http://www.pumpkinnook.com/cookbook/recipe05.htm


Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies would be good for a snack or dessert. They had a different kind of flavor to them.  They were shaped sort of weird because the dough was different than normal cookie dough because it was really fluffy. The main ingredients were pumpkin pie filling, chocolate chips, flour, sugar, and spices.  The cookies would go well with a glass of milk. 

This recipe was okay.  I didn't like the texture and there wasn't a very sweet taste.  The flavors weren't too overwhelming but you could for sure taste the pumpkin and other spices. I originally thought the chocolate chips would be really gross with pumpkin flavors but they added most of the flavor and without them I think the cookies would've been awful.

I liked how quick the cookies were to make.  I didn't like how they were hard to combine and had a texture that made them difficult to put onto the cookie sheet. I also am not a huge fan of pumpkin, so I didn't really like the flavor they had.  I liked having chocolate chips in them because if gave the cookies a sweeter flavor. I didn't like having to use a dough hook, it took way longer to mix.

I think the cookies would be good with a glass of milk. I also think that the cookies would taste good with ice cream.

One thing I would do to this recipe is get rid of the pumpkin.  I know it was a pumpkin lab, but I'm just not a huge fan of pumpkin.  Another thing I would change about the recipe would be add more flour.  The cookies would have a better texture. 

Pumpkin chocolate cheesecake bars



My product is made up of crust, chocolate, pumpkin, and icing.  The website where they found it is http://www.bhg.com/recipe/bars/pumpkin-chocolate-cheesecake-bars/. It was good, I think that the chocolate was the best part.

 It was what I expected. I expected it to taste like chocolate and pumpkin.

The things that I liked about it was the chocolate.  The second best part of it was the pumpkin.  My other favorite part was the  crust. I liked the way it tasted, but without the icing.  The worst part of the bars was the icing.

The drink that I would serve with it would probably be milk.  I don't know if I would serve it with another food.

The changes I would make is to use a different kind of icing.
Pumpkin cheesecake bars
It was similar to cheese cake with chocolate and pumpkin. I really liked this. I didn't have any expectations on how it would taste or look. It had a good texture. It tasted like it should, pumpkin cheesecake. The chocolate tasted really good with it. Frosting was to runny. I would drink eggnog with it. A little too rich. Some people didn't like the frosting but I really liked it. I found out that we actually took another groups cheesecake bars but it didn't bother me much. I hope ours tasted the same. I would use less sugar and use dark chocolate instead of semi sweet. I would like to make this again. On a scale of 1-10 it is an 8.

Swirled Pumpkin and Chocolate Cheesecake



Our product was kind of difficult to make, but we found our recipe at Swirled Pumpkin and Chocolate Cheesecake recipe-dessert recipes at womansday.com. The main description is pumpkin and chocolate wafters with swirled chocolate on the top. 

The Cheesecake was kind of too rich I thought. It was still kind of hot so I think if we would of kept it in the freezer longer it maybe would of tasted better. I thought the bottom part of it with like the chocolate wafer part was pretty good. It wasn't what i expected actually because I thought it would be more like a cheesecake but it really wasn't all i could taste was the pumpkin in it. 

I liked the chocolate wafer part of it and the top was pretty good. I did not like the rest of it though it was very rich and too much pumpkin was in it. I disliked the part that it took forever to make. It was a pretty difficult recipe to make because there was so many steps to it. I like that it was cheesecake though because I like cheesecake.

I would probably serve like milk or water with it. I would serve water so that the rich part of it wouldn't  be so rich. I would use water to wash it down because its really rich. I would serve milk because it would also help it not be so rich tasting. 

I think I would maybe not put so much of the pumpkin stuff in it. I think it would taste better if there wasn't as much in it. I also think it would maybe taste better with out the chocolate on the top. I like the chocolate on the bottom but I don't think the top needs the chocolate. I don't really like much pumpkin so I think if we limited the pumpkin a little bit it would maybe be better and if we kept it in the cold for a while longer. We didn't really keep it in there very long.

We found these on BetterHomesandGarden.com. These pumpkin chocolate cheesecake bars are great if you like cheesecake! These would be a great dish to take to a thanksgiving get-together.

The flavor was much better than I expected! I expected it to takes a lot like pumpkin, but realistically, it tasted a lot like just plain cheesecake. All together it was pretty good.

I did not like the frosting. I'm not a huge sour cream fan so that was the worst part. I liked the pumpkin mixed in with the chocolate. It made the taste a lot better. The texture was not bad. It had a fluffiness to it when it was warm which was better than the texture when cold. The chocolate really added flavor to the pumpkin. Without it the bars would have been pretty flavorless.

I think you could just serve this as a desert regularly if you really wanted to. You could serve it with hot cocoa in the winter or just after a big family meal.


Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

 


        My group made Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake Bars. I didn't find this recipe so i don't really know where they found it. I think Mark said he found it on some women's day sight. It was made with pumpkin, graham cracker, spices, and chocolate layers with sour cream and sugar frosting!! I personally didn't like the bar with the frosting on it cause if you knew that it had sour cream in it then it just ruins the taste of it. I liked it plain with out the frosting. Without the frosting you could actually taste some pumpkin. I expected it to be more pumpkin flavored tho and the chocolate to have a different taste. I also thought it would be sweeter and more tasteful then it was. The thing that I didn't like about it was the sour cream frosting i wouldn't have minded it if would have been like cream cheese, but no it was sour cream. I also didn't really like the flavor of the chocolate after it was done. I liked how hard the recipe was though. I also like making things with pumpkin in it and it did so I liked it. I also didn't like that we had to eat the other groups bars. I though ours would have been better. I had fun making it though! It had a lot of steps and was harder then most recipes.
         I would serve coffee with the bars. I wouldn't want to serve something cold but most hot things would be gross. I think coffee would be just fine with it. If I were to improve this product I would definitely take out the sour cream and find something else to replace it with, like cream cheese. I would make sure the chocolate doesn't get burnt and some how add some flavoring to the pumpkin. I would definitely add more spies because it was kind of bland in that category.

This is a gingersnap pumpkin parfait. It looks like ice cream cake because we decided to put in a pan so it wouldn't break the glass. The recipe comes from Better & Homes and Gardens.

Pumpkin Pillows



Website where I found the recipe: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/pumpkin-pillows-127535.aspx


Pumpkin Pillows would be great to serve at Holiday gatherings with family and friends.  This recipe was easy to make as long as you had directions to follow.  The main ingredients in this recipe were: caramel, won ton wrappers, cream cheese, and pumpkin.

I thought the Pumpkin Pillows were really good, after adding the powdered sugar, and the caramel dip.  The caramel dip with the pillows tasted amazing.  I wasn't really sure about the won ton wrappers, but they tasted really good in the end.

I liked that you could taste the pumpkin and the cream cheese at the same time.  I disliked how sticky the won ton wrappers were after they were left in the fridge.  I liked that after having the won ton wrappers in the fridge they stuck together a lot better, which made them easier to cook.  I didn't like that some of the pillows popped when we were cooking them.  I liked how the finished project tasted as good as the recipe said it would.

I would serve Pumpkin Pillows at Thanksgiving and Christmas, when my family likes to have Pumpkin Pie.  I would serve the Pumpkin Pillows instead of the pie.  If you don't like caramel, you could create your own sauce to dip them in.  I think milk would taste great with this dessert.

One change I would make is that once you have the pumpkin, and cream cheese mixture on the won ton wrapper, you brush eggs whites on the edges of the won ton wrapper, then fold them and put them in the fridge.  After being in the fridge overnight, take them out and brush the outside of them with egg whites, there is a smaller chance that they will explode.

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Cookies by Mack Fuller

I made Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Cookies. They are kind of muffin-like and are a softer cookie. I found my recipe through Google, which led me to http://www.bhg.com/thanksgiving/recipes/pumpkin-recipes/#page=18. It was a very helpful source with many different recipes.

Our cookies were actually very good. I didn't think they were going to taste the greatest because of the smell of the dough. They ended up tasting a lot like pumpkin which I liked and you also could taste a little bit of the other things like cinnamon and nutmeg, but they didn't over power the pumpkin.

One thing I disliked about the cookie was that it was more like a muffin texture wise. The taste was kind of like a muffin, but it felt more like a cookie when you ate it. I really liked the taste of it though.

A few other things I would serve with these cookies are white milk, coffee or tea. I wouldn't really want to put any other foods with it since it is more of a dessert-snack type of food.

One of the changes I would make would be to make it healthier. We put four sticks of butter in the recipe because that is what it called for. Next time I make these I will cut the recipe down to not make as many and maybe use less butter. They might not taste as good though.
 Pumpkin- Chocolate Cheesecake Bars 
I made pumpkin chocolate cheesecake bars. These Bars are very sweet and creamy. There is just enough pumpkin in them so it won't be over whelming. They reminded me of what pumpkin pie would taste like in bar form.

 I found this recipe at www.bhg.com/recipe/bars/pumpkin-chocolate-cheesecake-bars/.

 The bars were good but very, very sweet because of all the cream cheese and sugar. These bars were very moist and filling. They weren't what I was expecting but they were still very good.  I was expecting it to be more chunky and it wasn't. 

I loved the texture of these bars they were very soft and easy to eat. I didn't really enjoy the icing on the top it was very sweet. I didn't like the fact that the icing tasted so much like sour cream. I really enjoyed the chocolate that was in them. The amount of pumpkin was great as well. It would have been better if the icing was chilled better.

I would serve milk with the bars because milk always goes great with pumpkin. I wouldn't serve any food with this because I would serve it as a snack or desert.

If I could make any changes to the recipe I would. I would change the icing and I would put a little more chocolate into it.

Pull-Apart Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Bread


  I got my recipe from Sunnysideup.com.

  Pull-apart cinnamon sugar pumpkin bread would make a great dessert or snack. The main ingredients are fresh hand made bread, pumpkin puree, and of course sugar. We used refrigerated crescent rolls. I don't think it makes much of a difference though.

    I liked this recipe it turned out really great. It tasted really similar to a cinnamon roll, but you could still taste some pumpkin.

   One thing I liked about this recipe is that it was really easy to make. If you use crescent rolls it won't take that long, but if you make your own bread it might take a little longer to wait for the bread to rise then wait for it to cook.  There was nothing I didn't like about this recipe.

  One thing I would change about this recipe is how much glaze you make. There was a lot of glaze still left. It was kind of drowning our cinnamon pumpkin bread even when we poked wholes in it so the bread can soak up the glaze. I also think the glaze could use some more powdered sugar so the glaze is more thick.

Ginger Snap Pumpkin Parfaits


Ginger Snap Pumpkin Parfaits would make a tasty dessert, for Thanksgiving. 
Found at- www.bhg.com 


I personally thought it was going to taste better than it did. We had to add sugar and more spices to make the taste of pumpkin not as strong. When I first tasted it I thought it kind of tasted like Spaghetti O's. Then once you started to eat it the crumble was the best tasting part of it. It had a brown sugar taste with whipped cream on for the topping which was sweet. 

My like and dislikes are varied. I like the crumble on the top of the parfait, it had a sweet taste. I dislike the pumpkin taste, because it didn't taste like pumpkin. Also I disliked how we had to add sugar and spices to make the dessert taste better than it should have. I like the whipped cream on how we had to make it ourselves it was much better tasting after we added some sugar! I also liked how he dessert looked as a finished product!

I would serve milk or maybe water with this dessert. Because the taste of the two drinks wouldn't over power the parfait. 

Some of the changes I would make is, to use less pumpkin and maybe add something else, like more cinnamon to make it taste more like a pumpkin pie. Or I would add some more crumble on the top of the parfait, because it was my favorite part of the dessert. 

Pumpkin Cookies!

I made Pumpkin Cookies. They are very moist. They aren't hard like normal cookies. They are soft, almost like the tops of muffins. They have a very strong pumpkin and cinnamon flavor.

It was okay.. I didn't like it that well. It wasn't like horrible because I could eat them. I'm just not a big fan of Pumpkin flavored things.. I thought that the cinnamon and pumpkin were over powering. It was better then I thought it was going to be though. I liked it enough to eat it once but I would not make it if I had the choice..

I liked that it was that it was soft like muffins and didn't have the texture of a hard cookie. I didn't like all the pumpkin taste. I didn't like the over powering cinnamon taste. I didn't like that there was so much butter in it because it's so fattening. I didn't like how dense they were.

I would serve this with coffee and maybe milk. They might go well with ice cream too.

I would put less pumpkin flavor in it and a lot less cinnamon in it. I might put a little less butter in it because it has a lot of butter in it but I think that the butter made them so soft.


Pumpkin Pillows



Recipe from: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/pumpkin-pillows-127535.aspx

Pumpkin pillows would be a wonderful dessert to bring to a family gathering or a good snack for any occasion. The main ingredients in this recipe are pumpkin, cream cheese, and won tons. This recipe was very easy to make with great directions to follow.

I thought that the pumpkin pillows were wonderful. The sprinkled powdered sugar on top along with the carmel sauce to dip it made the pillows taste even better. The dip and pillows were delicious! I wasn't quite certain what it might taste like, but I was very pleased with the way they tasted.

I liked that you could taste that pumpkin, but that it wasn't the only thing you could taste. I liked how the recipe had good directions, it made the whole recipe easier to make. I disliked that the pillows became miss formed when they were in the cooking pan. The carmel sauce was my favorite part of the recipe! It was very sweet with a hint of some cinnamon and other spices. I also liked that the finished product had a nice appearance. 

I would serve these pumpkin pillows with other desserts around fall time. I think that milk or some warm apple cider would go great with this delicious snack! You could dip these in any other sauce you find desirable, I just prefer the carmel sauce. 

One change I would make to this recipe is that once you put the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture inside of the won ton and fold it over, that you refrigerate them for awhile. After being in the fridge awhile they fried much easier. Before we had problems with the pillows popping and exploding. 

Pumpkin-Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

It is exactly what its name tells you!
I got it from this website @ http://www.bhg.com/thanksgiving/recipes/pumpkin-recipes/

The Pumpkin-Chocolate Cheesecake Bars were delicious.  I thought they would be sweeter than what they were.  I think the Sour Cream topping was not chilled enough, before eating.  You should listen to the directions very carefully.

I liked how the bottom was very sweet.  It wasn't to terribly cold upon my teeth.  It came out looking edible and very presentable.  I did not like how it was a very long process to come out with this product.  The Sour Cream top was not very good on this product, although if chilled correctly it would have tasted better.

I would reccomend a warm drink with it such as coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea, or hot apple cider.  I would recommend this dish as a desert.  It would be a great dish for Thanksgiving.

To improve this product i would use more graham cracker and more chocolate.  I would probably use more of the cheesecake icing, and I would probably make a smaller portion or even make it into a pie.

Swirled Pumpkin and Chocolate Cheesecake



Pumpkin and Chocolate Cheesecake would make a better cheesecake if you are tried of normal, ordinary cheesecake flavors. We found the recipe at Dessert Recipes for WomansDay.com. This cheesecake calls for pumpkin, double dose of chocolate with a chocolate wafer crust and melted chocolate on top with any kind of design you like.

I tasted it and was disappointed because I did not like the taste of it. I like pumpkin but I think it was to much pumpkin for me. It was not what I expected. I thought that if it had less pumpkin and regular crust not chocolate crust it might have been better.

What I disliked about it was the it started coming apart at the middle. I thought it also might have been better if we waited till it was completely cold and not warm still. I also thought that if the chocolate would have been more mixed throughout the whole thing instead of the top that would of made the pumpkin not as strong. I also didn't like how there was much crust and that it took a long time and some effort to make it. I also thought that the recipe made to much of it and that I couldn't eat one piece. The only thing that I liked was the look of it all together except for it coming apart at the middle.

Things you could have it with are you could serve it with whipped cream on top. For a drink you could have milk. Even though I didn't like it, this would make an excellent Halloween treat or even Thanksgiving dessert.

I would change the amount of pumpkin that is put into it and more crust or just plain crust. I don't think the pumpkin and chocolate are such a good mix, peanut butter and chocolate are definitely a better combo and I think you could even do peanut butter instead of pumpkin and it would be amazing. I also would cut back on the filling amount I think there was way to much filling.

pumpkin chocolate chip cookies


We found a similar recipe to the one we used on www.pumpkinnook.com/cookbook/recipe05.htm.  The main ingredients we used were pumpkin, chocolate chips, sugar, flour, and other spices.  The cookies came out slightly misshapen, but they were pretty good.

I thought that the cookies were pretty good.  The pumpkin lost most of its taste when it was cooked, and I don't usually eat pumpkin and I liked that.  I expected it to have a strong pumpkin taste.  they are pumpkin cookies, one would expect them to taste heavily of pumpkin.

I liked that the cookie recipe called for chocolate chips.  I liked how the pumpkin lost most of its flavor when it was cooked.  I liked how it wasn't an overcomplicated recipe.  I didn't like the pumpkin in the cookies, I don't like pumpkin.  I didn't like the smell of the pumpkin before my group had taken it out of the can, it smelled weird.

I would serve these cookies with milk and ice cream.  Milk goes good with cookies.  Ice cream also goes good with cookies.  I would also serve it with cake or pie.

I would add a box of pudding mix to make the cookies more moist.  I would also take the pumpkin out of the recipe.  I would also add more chocolate chips, you can never have enough chocolate chips.


pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

We found a similar recipe at www.pumpkinnook.com.
These cookies make a great afternoon snack.
I personally think they were very good. Even after a day after finished baking they are still very chewy.
It is very moist and a long lasting flavor.
They did not turn out to be what I thought, they were much better and I'm not even a big pumpkin fan.
I really like how they kept their consistency. I like the chocolate chips with pumpkin taste and how it has a long after taste. I also like how they are very moist.
I would generally just serve this with milk.
Something I would to add to the recipe would be to add more sugar for a sweeter taste.

Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake bars

These are pumpkin chocolate cheesecake bars that group Lorraine, Mark, and Justin made during our fifth period foods I class. The website that the recipe was on was betterhomesandgardens.com. The taste of our bars was kind of bad tasting. The chocolate was burnt because the other foods I class to our pan we made the day before. The sour cream frosting was funky tasting. I expected it to taste a lot better than it did though. I didn't like the taste of the  sour cream frosting. I liked that the sour cream frosting was easy to make though. I didn't like that other class took our perfect bars that we hadn't frosted yet. I liked that our group worked really good together to make them even though it may have didn't sound like it. I liked that the chocolate/pumpkin mixture tasted good yesterday when we had ours we made. I would serve this with ice cream for dessert with eggnog. I would change the frosting to be  cream cheese frosting maybe or some other kind of frosting to make them taste better.


We got this on all recipes.com. These pancakes are perfect if you want a little twist to your pancakes. If you ever get tired of eating plain pancakes I would try these!

Mr. Kelderman was expecting before his first bite that it would taste a lot like pumpkin, but it didn't. He said that there really wasn't a taste but he liked it. He said that it was more moist than a regular pancake but he liked it.

Mr. Kelderman liked how moist it was and that it didn't taste a whole lot like pumpkin.  One thing he didn't like was one of them was a little burnt. Other than that he liked everything else. Something I liked about the recipe was it was different from a regular pancake recipe. Something I didn't like was they were really thick and they got a little done on the outside and not all the way done the inside.

Something I would serve with pumpkin pancakes would probably be milk or orange juice. Also maybe eggs, or hash browns. Anything that is breakfast I would serve with it.

Something I would change would be the thickness. I would change it because it was to thick and the middle didn't get cooked very well. So I reccomend putting some liquid in it like milk.


Pumpkin Pancakes

Recipe from: all recipes.com

Pumpkin Pancakes would make a good breakfast or dessert. The main ingredients are pumpkin, spices, and dry ingredients.

Mr. Augustin liked the thickness of the pancakes. He said they were really fluffy and firm. The flavor was subtle. He liked them with just butter, and said they didn't need syrup. The only thing he didn't like about them was that one of them was overcooked. I thought that the recipe was easy to make. It didn't take too long to make the pancakes. I thought that they turned out really good. Everyone said that they tasted really good.

Foods and drinks I would serve with it, would be: milk, fruit, maple syrup (or pumpkin syrup), ice cream, and orange juice.

If I could make any changes, I would have put more milk in the batter to make it runnier. The batter was thick and the pancakes were really fat. Some of them got cooked too long. I also would have made them bigger.

Pumpkin Pancakes

I found the recipe at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pancakes/.
Pumpkin Pancakes would make a great breakfast meal. The main ingredients are pumpkin puree, eggs, flour, baking soda and powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and brown sugar. Pumpkin pancakes taste just like pancakes but with a little pumpkin flavor.
        The Pumpkin pancakes tasted really good. I thought it was going to taste a lot like pumpkins, but it only had a little pumpkin taste which was good. I liked it tasted like a normal pancake also it had a little pumpkin taste. I didn't like about it was the color it looked brownish orange. Another thing is that some bits had a little to much pumpkin taste. I liked the texture and the thickness. I would suggest to have milk with it and some sausage and bacon. If i could make any changes to the product i would have put just a little less pumpkin puree in it.


Pumpkin

These pumpkin cookies we made are very good, they are soft and chewy and have subtle hint of spice. They would be great served with milk The recipe made a total of 48 cookies. They taste a lot like pumpkin pie but not as rich as i would have thought. Mrs. V thought they were very soft. I liked everything about them. If i could improve anything about them i would frost them.

Mini Pumpkin Pie Crescents


Recipe from: http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/08/mini-pumpkin-pie-crescents-recipe.html

Mini pumpkin pie crescents would make a perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert.  The main ingredients are refrigerator crescent rolls, pumpkin pie filling, cream cheese, and spices.  This bite sized snack is supposed to taste similar to pumpkin pie.

I really liked this recipe.  I thought it turned out great.  The flavor wasn't too overwhelming, but you could definitely taste the pumpkin and the spices.  I thought the mini pumpkin pie crescents were even better than pumpkin pie because I prefer the crescent roll to pie crust.

One thing I liked about this recipe was that it was easy to make because there weren't too many ingredients.  I also liked how quick it was.  It only took about 35 minutes to prepare, bake, and clean up.  I thought the size was perfect because you could eat 2-3 and not feel stuffed. Lastly, I thought the taste was really good.  The cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice added a lot of flavor.  The only thing I didn't like about this recipe was that it only used 1 cup of canned pumpkin and half a block of cream cheese, so what I didn't use will probably end up going to waste.

I liked the mini pumpkin pies plain, but you could eat them with whipped topping.  I also think some warm apple cider would make this a perfect fall snack.

One change I would make to this recipe would be to cut it in half.  It made 32 mini pumpkin pies, which is more than I could eat.  I think I may also try spraying the pan lightly next time to make the pan easier to wash.
