Ultimate Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Making your own fresh purée from sweet winter squashes like butternut and honeynut will give you the best possible pumpkin pie, one that’s both ultracreamy and richly flavored. (Photo: Ryan Liebe for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Erika Joyce)
Pumpkin Mousse Recipe
This light and airy mousse is just the thing when you want the flavor, but not the heft, of pumpkin pie. We think it's an elegant end to a hearty autumn meal – Thanksgiving or otherwise. (Photo: Craig Lee for NYT)
Brandied Pumpkin and Chestnut Pie Recipe
This is quite possibly the best pumpkin pie recipe out there. Why? It's got two layers (chestnut and pumpkin), and it calls for fresh squash in lieu of the canned stuff. Make pumpkin bread with the leftover purée. (Photo: Francesco Tonelli for The New York Times)
Pumpkin Drop Cookies Recipe
These tender, spiced pumpkin cookies with browned butter icing were adapted from Pat Young, the winner of the best pumpkin recipe at the 83rd Pumpkin Show in Circleville, Ohio, in 1989. They're almost cakelike in texture, and we think they taste best with a tall glass of milk. (Photo: Craig Lee for NYT)

Pumpkin Parfait Recipe
This no-bake dessert does require a few hours in the freezer. Still, the active working time is about 20 minutes. You start with canned pumpkin purée, stir in cream, milk and spices, and freeze. Several hours (or days) later -- when you're ready for dessert -- you cut up the frozen purée and put it into the food processor, which makes it smooth and creamy. Layer this ingenious creation with lightly whipped cream if you like – or not. (Photo: Craig Lee for NYT)

Pumpkin Cheesecake In Nut Crust Recipe
Some cheesecakes are the culinary equivalent of a punch in the gut: too sweet, too heavy, too filling. This one, first published in The Times in 1984, is delightfully different. It's lightly-sweet, slightly tangy and gently laced with spiced pumpkin flavor. The texture is surprisingly airy. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream or créme fraîche.
