21 Sep {The Recipe Redux}: No-bake Pumpkin Pudding Trifle

Posted at 00:00h in recipes by

Intern Kylie here!

It’s time.

Pumpkin time.  In the last two weeks I have made pumpkin waffles, pumpkin cookie dough and pumpkin bars.  And now my mind is going non-stop thinking about what else I could do with pumpkin.  And the real kicker is, I really don’t even know if I like pumpkin.  I mean, I like carving pumpkins…except when you are picking out the perfect pumpkin at a pumpkin patch and you grab one by the stem and it has just about 36 baby thorns that jam into your fingers.  Less than ideal. 

 

It seriously took me years to try pumpkin pie.  My thought was, why is there a squash in my pie? And then I made this recipe last Thanksgiving and I realized just how much I had been missing out on.  Oh goodness.  I will be making that recipe again this year.  Hmm…maybe I should do a pumpkin-pie-making test run soon.  You know, just to make sure it still will turn out okay.  I mean, it’s sounds completely essential.  Nothing wrong with being prepared.

One wonderful thing about pumpkins is that they are just as versatile as bananas.  They’re oh-so great to bake with because they add moisture and can be used in place of butter, just like applesauce or mashed banana.  Plus, you can’t think of anything pumpkin without a small voice inside your head screaming, “CHRISTMAS IS COMING!” 

And while a small part of me thinks that breaking out the pumpkin recipes before October is kind of like putting up your Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, I’m still not willing to forgo all things pumpkin until the end of the month.  Especially when you blend together tofu + pumpkin and it somehow comes together to make the most creamy and delicious pumpkin pudding you ever did taste.  For sure one of my new favorite ways to eat tofu. 

Plus, this months Recipe Redux theme is “No-bake desserts” which is oh-so perfect when you live in Texas and the 90 degree weather could careless that it’s nearly fall.  So I’m really all about leaving the oven off.  And I’m all about eating pumpkin.  So this recipe is just perfect.

    Wow – do these look amazing. I’ve dug my heels in on not doing anything pumpkin until it’s official fall but I did toy with the idea of doing pumpkin parfaits. And I’ve been wanting to use dates in sweets for awhile now – thanks for the inspiration!

      It’s so funny to me that I like dates now…like a year ago I thought they were the creepiest looking things ever haha:) But here we are, putting dates in our brownies haha:)) Actually, they still are pretty creepy looking…but oh well:)

      I think I love the thought of pumpkin just as much as I love the pumpkin flavor! You know? It’s just like pumpkin anything automatically makes you think of something warm and cozy and autumn-y…and something delicious:)

        I couldn’t agree more. Pumpkin has always been my comfort food, and just lighting my pumpkin candles or baking a pumpkin desserts puts me in such a happy mood!

    These look awesome- especially with the addition of brownie chunks.
    Why is chocolate and pumpkin such an addictive combination?

    Delicious! #gosoy.
    I’m with you- it’s hard to think about fall when the weather hasn’t dipped below 90 but, I’m trying. And pumpkin anything always gets me in the season! Looks delicious.

    These look great! I used to make a pumpkin spread using tofu – almost forgot about it until I saw your recipe! Not quite ready to start cooking with pumpkin even though it does feel like fall in NY, but will have to break into it soon!
