Harvest Mousse with Spiced Almond Tuiles

This fluffy mousse, which typically calls for butternut squash, could just as easily and deliciously be made with fresh or canned pumpkin. For Halloween, definitely go with pumpkin. You’ll love the smooth texture. Plus, we recommend serving the leftover candied squash as a topping for a heaping bowl of vanilla ice cream.

Pumpkin Pie-Croissant Pudding

Bakers make traditional diplomat pudding with soaked ladyfingers or cake baked with fruit and custard. In this take, use leftover croissants and pumpkin pie filling for a sweet autumnal treat that’s perfect to serve on Halloween. While this dish would make a lovely fall dessert, we think the use of croissants also qualifies it for breakfast.

These creamy pumpkin bread puddings are baked in pie dishes—so they’re a hybrid dessert. The impressive lattice top is actually made of strips of butternut squash.
