Pining For Pumpkin? Here Are 13 Fall Finds To Satisfy Your Cravings

Editor’s note: Audrey McClure and Hannah Sung contributed to this story.

Pumpkin Pie

Emporium Pies’ rotating menu always manages a creatively-named twist on beloved seasonal classics. The Drop Dead Gourdgeous is making a comeback this fall with its gingerbread crust wrapped around a secret blend of spices and pumpkin custard filling.

Pumpkin Gelato

There’s no shortage of stores serving pumpkin ice cream in Dallas this fall. Among them, Paciugo Gelato Caffe has added pumpkin gelato to its already dizzying array of authentic Italian gelato flavors. A little closer to SMU, Baldo’s is serving its own spread of fall-themed flavors including Pumpkin Spice Caramel.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Bird Bakery’s pumpkin cheesecake checks off all your fall cravings. Pumpkin spiced cheesecake filling? Check. Maple infused whipped cream? Check. Crunchy pecan crust? Check. And of course, it’s all topped off with a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Pumpkin Tamales

At La Popular Tamale House, the Moreno family has been making fresh, handmade tamales year round since 1984. In the fall, they add pumpkin as well as sweet potato tamales to their repertoire. The best part? You can order them online or on the phone for pickup or delivery.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Cafe Brazil’s pumpkin spice pancakes are a great way to add a fall flavored kick to start off your morning or get you through an all-nighter at the 24-hour eatery.

Shake Shack’s Pumpkin Shake blends pumpkin, vanilla custard, marshmallows, and spices topped with real toasted pumpkin seeds.
