The biggest meal of the year is just around the corner. I don’t know how it shakes down at your house, but with all the “once-a-year” kind of recipes that we serve on Thanksgiving, it can be a pretty big to do around here.
And, while I’ve been trying to cut our sweets, you must know that we are a Dessert Family. Every night one child or another will inquire about dessert. It’s just what we do. Sometimes dessert is a grand affair; sometimes it is a piece of buttered toast and honey masquerading as a dessert.
Whatever works, people. Whatever works.
But, for Thanksgiving? Well, I pull out the stops. We have no fewer than three desserts — even when it’s just our family of 8. With guests, we often have more.
It’s only once a year, after all.
This year, we presented the kids with choices and they had a very hard time narrowing it down to three. Here are some great Thanksgiving desserts for you to choose from:
- Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake
- Homemade Chocolate Cream Pie
- Mixed Berry Pie with Cinnamon and Lemon
- Pretzel Berry Dessert
- Lemon Meringue Pie
- Salted Caramel Affogatos (Coffee Floats)
- Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Pie
- Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Custards
- Raspberry Cream Cups with Pretzels
- Slab Apple Pie
- Toffee Dream – this is a dessert that my parents fight over who gets the last piece 🙂

I would pick the Mixed Berry Pie, Pretzel Berry Dessert, and Streusel Topped Pumpkin Custard
This year I am making Pecan Pie, Pecan Candy, Chocolate Mousse, and Sweet Potato Crunch
G’day! What a great Thanksgiving Round Up indeed, true!
I think I would like to try one of everyone’s desserts, but lean towards pies of all kinds too!
