thanksgiving dessert

Thank you Grandbaby Cakes for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 3 oz. white chocolate

  • 6 Tbsp salted butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar

  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 egg yolk

  • ⅓ cup canned pumpkin 

  • 1 + ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 8 prepackaged caramel candies

  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. 

  2. Add the white chocolate and butter to a microwave-safe medium-sized bowl and heat in intervals of 20 seconds, stirring after each session until it’s completely melted and smooth. 

  3. Whisk in the flour, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until the batter is smooth. Whisk in the eggs, egg yolk, pumpkin, and vanilla extract until the batter is well-blended. 

  4. Using 3 ramekins that have been sprayed with non-stick spray, fill each halfway with cake batter. Add two caramels into each ramekin and sprinkle the top with sea salt. Spoon the remaining cake batter over each cake. 

  5. Bake the cakes for 14-17 minutes and remove them from the oven. Let the cakes cool for 2 minutes. Take a knife and run it along the inside of each ramekin to help release the cake. 

  6. Invert the cakes on the individual plates. Dust with sea salt or powdered sugar and serve warm.
