I recently went to a halloween party and I decided it was a great opportunity to do some recipe testing. I have found that whenever you go to an event that you’re not sure if there will be appropriate food to eat, then either 1. Eat before you go and/or 2. Bring something you’re comfortable eating. This event I did both! These deviled eggs were a huge hit and turned out totally adorable. The pumpkins are seasonal enough that they would be a wonderful addition as a Thanksgiving appetizer or a Fall Game Day Treat. The additional chili powder was delicious but made them a tad spicy for my 3 year old who is pretty sensitive to spice. I hope you enjoy!
Here are some of the items I used in this recipe:
- Electric Pressure Cooker (I love this thing so much and use it several times per week!)
- Immersion Blender (This is one of my most used kitchen sets, it’s so easy to clean and is so versatile!)
- Mayonnaise
- Piping Bag
- Piping Tip

- To hard boil eggs that are easy to peel, put the steamer insert into an electric pressure cooker with 1 cup of cold water and set on high for 8 minutes. (I was able to do only half at a time so for the second round since the water was already hot, I set it for 10 minutes.)
- Once the timer goes off, quick release the pressure manually and placed the eggs in an ice water bath.
- Once cooled, cut in half and remove the yolks.
- Combine the yolks with the pumpkin, mayonnaise, tomato paste, salt and pepper.
- Whisk together or for a smoother topping use an immersion blender.
- Put into a piping bag with a large tip and fill the egg white halves.
- Cut up pieces of green pepper to decorate as pumpkin 'stems.'
- Finish by sprinkling chipotle chili powder on top if desired.
- Serve immediately or chill several hours before serving.
