Single-Serving Pumpkin Cream Cupcake

Hey Cacao Nibs!
Yesterday I offered Thanksgiving main-dish idea: Vegan Lentil Mush.

So, for today, how about dessert?

You start out with a yummy Vegan Pumpkin Muffin for One.
Then you cut a hole in the center. For the filling, ya know. (Read on; we’ll get to that!)

Fill the hole, using the fun “Whipped Cream” Trick.
Then you can add other toppings if you so choose. (I added soyatoo and cacao nibs.)

And thus, a modest Vegan Pumpkin Muffin for One morphs into a beauty-queen cupcake.

Now, about this pumpkin cream… I’ve actually posted the recipe before, but to save you the trouble of clicking endless links, here it is again:


Pumpkin Cream Mousse

2/3 cup cooked pumpkin (about 140ish grams)

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/16th tsp salt

Up to 3T liquid (Try creamer for part/all the liquid. I used 20g Silk creamer, 30g water.)

Optional: sweetener of choice, to taste (You might also try adding some Tofutti cream cheese.)

Whip it all up in the blender for a loooong time.

    Darlin, I’m sorry but “fill your hole with whipped cream” is LOL funny 😉 I may misinterpret that and just pour the stuff right into my mouth hahaha! This does look so awesome though!!

    Your cupcake looks amazing. Might make one a bit like that this week. 🙂 Never done any changes to my blog, aside from layout changes. Hope it goes well!

    I really need to redesign my blog…but I don’t have the right header photo yet. Mine’s looked the same for far too long. Maybe I’ll get around to that this weekend? Maybe? The pumpkin muffin looks delicious! Our desserts vary from year to year but my Granny always makes a few vegan pies. Not sure what’s in store for this year. I know I’ll be makin’ a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie.

    This looks pumpkinlicious, Katie, and very Thanksgiving appropriate. Yum.

    My hubby has been suggesting changes to my site for awhile but I have to admit to being a tad intimidated to pursue them. I’ll eventually get there but i need to plan them out first. I’m all about plans and checklists to get through changes. 😉

    Katie! Just found your site the other day for sweet treats to survive my paleo lifestyle (fudge babies!). Unfortunately I checked back today and there are 404 errors all over the place on your fudge baby recipes 🙁 Hope you get things fixed, your recipes are a gift from beyond!

    Best!
