PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE TART WITH CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM
This recipe is from my second cookbook, The Vintage Baker, and it is a personal fave. I love the (underappreciated) combo of pumpkin and chocolate. This tart has a chocolate cookie crust, but you can substitute a different cookie for the crust if you would like. Gingersnaps would be lovely, as would vanilla wafers flavored with cinnamon. -Jessie Sheehan, Brooklyn, New York, Jessie Sheehan Bakes

CINNAMON SPICED CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, allspice and cloves in a large bowl and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or the microwave and whisk until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla, eggs and milk to the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth.
- Add half of the dry ingredients and fold together with a spoon or spatula. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients.
- Butter and flour twelve 4-ounce ramekins, custard cups or disposable aluminum cups. Invert and tap on the counter to expel the excess flour. Fill each cup three-quarters of the way with batter and tap gently or use a spatula to smooth. Space the cups 1 to 2 inches apart on a baking pan. Bake until the edges look firm and dry and the centers are slightly soft, about 14 minutes. Cool briefly and remove the cakes from the ramekins.
- Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Garnish each with a dollop of whipped cream.
CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM
The inspiration for the whipped cream came from Bon Appetit December 2002 issue. I've changed the measurements to my own taste. This whipped cream is delicious on anything with apples such as pie, cobbler and apple bread (see recipe 76946 for a great combo). Also would be nice on top of hot chocolate or coffee!

Steps:
- Pour heavy cream into chilled glass bowl (I use a small but deep glass bowl).
- Beat on high speed.
- Slowly add sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
- Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Tip: When making whipped cream I dampen a paper towel with vinegar and wipe the inside of a glass bowl with it.
- Continue to wipe until dry and place inside freezer with beaters or whisk.
- Leave in freezer for 10 minutes to chill then use to make whipped cream.
