Perfect for a Halloween party! Delicious homemade sweets (1–10)
Halloween macaron(s)
You can find many macarons in Halloween-friendly colors like purple and orange.
Try decorating store-bought macarons or making new colors yourself for fun.
Draw ghosts, bats, or jack-o’-lanterns (pumpkin ghosts) with icing, and you’ll have easy Halloween macarons.
If you’re making macarons from scratch, keep in mind that the macaronage process—mixing the meringue and batter—requires a delicate touch.
Ghost meringue cookies
One treat I really want you to try making for Halloween is ghost-shaped meringue cookies.
Pipe well-whipped, fluffy meringue into little ghost shapes and bake them in a 100°C (212°F) oven for 90 minutes to make these adorable cookies.
Melt some chocolate and draw faces on the baked cookies.
It’s sure to be fun if you pipe the meringue and draw the faces with your kids.
It’s also cute to give each ghost a different expression.
They’re delicious on their own, and they’re perfect for decorating cakes, too.
Pumpkin chiffon cake
When it comes to cakes with a light texture, chiffon cake is a favorite.
For Halloween, try making a fluffy chiffon cake with pumpkin.
Since you’ll be making meringue by mixing sugar into egg whites, a hand mixer will come in handy.
To achieve that airy finish, you’ll need plenty of meringue, so whip it well until it forms stiff peaks.
The subtle aroma of pumpkin is so enticing that you’ll feel like you could eat slice after slice.
Give it a try!
Pumpkin cheesecake
This cheesecake made with pumpkin is perfect for Halloween, with a rich pumpkin sweetness and a moist, delicious texture.
Crushing the biscuits for the crust is a step kids can help with—and it’s sure to be a hit.
The key to a smooth finish is to mash the pumpkin thoroughly while it’s still warm.
It’s an easy recipe that only requires baking in a microwave oven, so if you’re hosting a Halloween party, give it a try!
Pumpkin pound cake
This is an easy pumpkin pound cake you can make with pancake mix.
The key is to use not only sugar but also honey, which brings out a deeper sweetness than sugar alone.
When creaming the butter (brought to room temperature) with the sugar, mix thoroughly to achieve a light, fluffy texture.
Conversely, when adding the pancake mix, fold it in gently with cutting motions—this also helps keep the cake fluffy.
Pound cakes are easy to find at convenience stores these days, but since it’s Halloween, why not try making one from scratch?
