Pumpkin donuts. You want them, and you want them now. But are they worth all the measuring, mixing and subsequent cleaning of the dishes you dirtied in the process of preparing them? Good news: all you need is a box and a can to make a moist, delicious, pumpkin dessert. And if you want to create your own coconut icing (and believe me, you do), all it takes is 5 simple ingredients and a few seconds of blending.
