Trying 3 Pumpkin Spice Recipes

The video is made possible by the iconic Starbucks pumpkin spice latte! I get a lot of messages asking about making a homemade pumpkin spice recipe (and a lot telling me it’s not really October until I’ve had a pumpkin spice latte!), so I thought I’d better do a DIY version of pumpkin spice. But you know me, I couldn’t stop there! I decided to make a whole meal using pumpkin spice recipes too! We’ve got a pumpkin spice drink, pumpkin spice main (pumpkin pasta - how very autumnal!) and pumpkin spice dessert…could I say pumpkin spice any more times?!

DIY PUMPKIN SPICE RECIPE
3 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp nutmeg
½ tsp allspice
½ tsp ground cloves

Mix all the ingredients together and store in an airtight container. You could change the quantities of the spices depending on your preference, but these worked nicely for me.

PUMPKIN SPICE ROLL CAKE/SWISS ROLL
200g sugar
225g pumpkin puree
3 eggs, beaten
1tsp pumpkin spice
100g plain flour
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
Cream filling
220g cream/soft cheese
100g icing sugar
2tsbp butter, room temp
1tsp pumpkin spice
1tsp vanilla extract
Optional sugar coating
60g sugar
1tsp pumpkin spice

In a large bowl add the sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, flour and bicarbonate of soda. Stir well to fully bond/mix until lump free. Pour onto a lined baking tray approx 10 x 15 inches, bake for 20 minutes at 170C fan/190C or equivalent until the cake is springy to the touch.

Meanwhile make the filling whilst it’s baking by mixing all the filling ingredients together in a bowl until smooth, if it’s a little runny add more icing sugar, thick add a splash of milk. It will firm up as it chills in the fridge though, put in the fridge for later.

When the cake is ready get a piece of baking parchment, in a bowl mix together the sugar coating ingredients – just a smidgen of the pumpkin spice mix will do and scatter over the area where you will put the cake. Turn it out upside-down from the tin onto the sugar so the baking parchment is facing upwards, peel it off and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Once cooler, but still warm, use a small rolling pin to help roll the cake up and leave it to cool on the seam with the baking parchment wrapped around it. Don’t touch this again until it’s cooled down now, it will help it set in the right shape so it doesn’t crack when the icing is inside! Once fully cooled unwrap the cake, remove the baking parchment, frost a layer of the cream cheese filling inside it and then roll it up! Nice!

PUMPKIN SPICE VODKA PASTA
250g spaghetti
1tsbp butter
1 onion, chopped
3 sage leaves, chopped
80ml vodka
200ml pasta water
250g pumpkin puree
1tsp pumpkin spice
1tbsp Maple syrup
80g parmesan, grated plus extra to garnish
200ml yoghurt
Pumpkin seeds to garnish

Cook the spaghetti to package instructions and reserve 200ml of the cooked pasta water. Add this to a jug with the vodka.

In a frying pan add the sage, butter and onion and fry for a few minutes until the onions just start to brown, stirring often. Add in the pasta vodka water mixture, and simmer gently for 5 minutes, add in the pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree, maple syrup and the cheese, heating gently, stirring to melt the cheese, once warm and bubbly remove from the heat and stir in the yoghurt, once combined add in the pasta and stir to coat.

Serve on a plate warm / hot – with extra pumpkin seeds, cheese and sage on top if you wish. It’s quirky, but a stonker!

PUMPKIN SPICE WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE
500ml milk
200ml double cream
1tsp pumpkin spice mix
1tsp vanilla extract
200g white chocolate chips
Whipping cream, to serve

Warm the milk and cream together in a saucepan gently, stirring often, remove from heat just before reaching a boil. Pour over the chocolate chips whilst hot in a large bowl, adding in the extract and pumpkin spice mix. Stir to combine, top with whipped cream, marshmallows and more pumpkin spice if you wish. The pumpkin spice is more subtle in this one but works really nicely with the white chocolate!
