A Perfect Little Treat That Guests Will Go Wild About

I love the taste of pumpkin. And I noticed I must not be the only one because the last time I went to the grocery store they had a whole section dedicated to pumpkin foods, it was amazing! Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin scones, and pumpkin flavored Oreos were just begging to be put into my cart and taken home.

But I really wanted to make something unique that didn’t require rolling thinly baked sheet cakes around cream cheese filling. Not that I am opposed to that recipe since I made about 4 of those pumpkin logs last year. No, I wanted to treat my family to a new recipe. When I saw this I KNEW I had a winner!

I could make these and put them in the freezer so I didn’t have to spend the day they were arriving in the kitchen. And because these are tidy little bites this makes a perfect little treat after dinner without feeling like we need to break out a big dessert!

This is what Dan of Cakes Cottage has to say about his recipe.

“These pumpkin cheesecake balls are no-bake. They are so easy and taste amazing. Bring them to a party and you’ll be a hero forever!

It really should be called Str-ahhh-berry Shortcake.

I am pretty sure I have been eating strawberry shortcake my whole life.

I wouldn’t say I am an official connoisseur, but when your grandmothers from both sides of the family are amazing cooks and they live in Salinas, CA which can practically grow strawberries year round, you tend to develop a taste for a really good shortcake.

My grandparents always had a garden and in the coastal weather, something was always growing. Beans, corn, lemons, onions, artichokes, and strawberries. The garden plot was almost the same square footage as the small house they had built.

They left Kansas during the dust storms with all their belongings to a valley where they hoped to find jobs, a place to set down roots, and build a future for their family.

And they did.

One of the first things my grandparents did was to plant a garden. The shelves were always lined with canned goods, the freezer full of produce, and when we went to their home, we always knew something amazing would be served.

I think my grandmother would have loved this recipe.

This is what Liz Berg of This Skinny Chick Cooks has to say about her recipe.

I have served these gorgeous shortcakes on numerous occasions. When strawberries are in season, this recipe for Strawberry Shortcake with White Chocolate Whipped Cream will wow your company. Or just treat your family to a delectable dessert!

Quick Tip: You can make the shortcakes and the chocolate mousse ahead ahead. If you are serving company, not having to do extra work, or clean up is great.
