It’s pumpkin time!

Possibly not a big deal to you, but living in the UK, we don’t really see many pumpkin recipes, so I’m excited to be involved in the pumpkin frenzy! Can you believe that they don’t even sell pumpkin puree or pumpkin spice over here?

Actually, that’s not quite true, you can now find pumpkin puree on the ‘speciality aisle’ of the larger supermarkets. I spotted it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was in my trolley quicker than you could say ‘nutty English woman’.

I set to work coming up with a recipe, and these chocolatey pumpkin blondies were the result.

A really simple recipe that involves creaming the butter and sugar, then mixing in the wet ingredients, followed by the dry.

The result is quite a thick mixture, dotted with lots of lovely white chocolate chips.

After baking in the oven it’s cut into slices before being dunked in more white chocolate. I did experiment with dipping the whole thing in white chocolate, but that was just a little too much…..

The final drizzle is simply a little pumpkin puree mixed with some melted white chocolate. The pumpkin gives the drizzle a lovely orange colour, and the white chocolate helps it to set.

So delicious with a nice cup of coffee!
