How to Make the Caramel Pumpkin Brownie Skillet

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease your skillet.

2. Mix the pumpkin-cream cheese layer until smooth.

3. Prepare the brownie batter in a separate bowl.

4. Layer in the skillet: brownie batter, pumpkin swirl, then more brownie batter—swirl with a knife.

5. Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges set but the center stays fudgy.

6. Let it cool slightly before topping with warm caramel and melty ice cream.

Pro Tips for Skillet Success

• Aim for a slightly gooey center—that’s where the magic happens.

• Use pure pumpkin purée (not pie filling) for best results.

• Serve directly in skillet to keep it warm and rustic.

• Want extra texture? Sprinkle on chopped pecans, chocolate chips, or a dusting of sea salt.
