15 Fabulous Thanksgiving Desserts You Will Love
Thanksgiving is next week! What’s on your menu? Not the Thanksgiving dinner menu, the other menu, the dessert menu? If you are looking for some additions to your Thanksgiving Day dessert table I have put together 15 Fabulous Thanksgiving Desserts that the entire family will love.
Libby’s classic pumpkin pie with copious amounts of whipped cream is my favorite holiday dessert. But there are so many great make-ahead dessert recipes that you can whip up in no time and serve all holiday season long, everything from bars, to cheesecake to bundt cakes.
Pumpkin Desserts
Pumpkin cheesecake with praline sauce, warm Fall spices topped with a caramel pecan sauce.
Spiced Pumpkin Bars with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting, a cross between a pumpkin cake and a pie.
Chocolate pumpkin marble bread is the perfect treat to serve on your Thanksgiving table and brunch buffet.
This moist and delicious Pumpkin Carrot Cake combines two of the best cakes into one. Filled with Fall spices and topped with cream cheese frosting it is one of the best Thanksgiving desserts.
Have you ever made pumpkin bread pudding? This recipe is special because it is made with pumpkin bread soaked in custard. Topped with caramel pecans it is scrumptious.
Apple Thanksgiving Desserts
If you like apple desserts you need to make these apple blondies. Spicy cinnamon apples are baked into a bar and topped with glaze for a delicious Fall dessert.
Harvest apple pie,a flakey crust, piled with Granny Smith apples and topped with a butter crumble, a delicious dessert for any gathering, even a gathering of 1. Similar to classic apple pie it is even better topped with vanilla ice cream or heavy whipping cream. ​
Slab apple pie or apple slab pie, with crumb topping, no matter what you call it this is an all American apple pie for a crowd. It also happens to be my family’s favorite. My grandmother made this pie for every holiday using fresh apples that we picked together and I have been making it for over 40 years.
Spiced Apple Bread with Maple Glazed Walnut Topping is an easy and delicious quick bread. Add one to the care packages your guests take home.
Spiced apple crumble bars, delicious for breakfast and dessert.
Fabulous Cranberry Thanksgiving Desserts
An easy and delicious, sweet and tart cranberry bundt cake recipe. Perfect for dessert or a snack, delicious with a cup of tea.
Cranberry cheesecake bars are the perfect holiday dessert, creamy cheesecake, a buttery crust and crumble top and colorful cranberries.
Fresh cranberry walnut quick bread. This easy bread recipe can also be made with leftover cranberry sauce and is a great addition to your Christmas baskets and table too.
Browned Butter Cranberry bars with crumble topping, like a cranberry tart but cut into bars. This recipe is very versatile and you can use any fruit that you like.
This is my new favorite dessert, cranberry panna cotta. This is the easiest dessert that you will ever make and you can top it with any fruit or sauce that you like.
Delicious Thanksgiving desserts don’t have to be traditional. You could serve your favorite chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, fudgy brownies or cereal treats right next to the traditional pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie. Mix classic flavors on the Thanksgiving dessert table something for every sweet tooth.
Until Next Time
I hope that you enjoyed these easy sweet treats and thanksgiving dessert recipes. Have a great day!

On My Radar
Good morning dear Elizabeth! You have an array of great possibilities here! I am looking forward to our Thanksgiving to just relax. Pumpkin pie for Ruben is all I'll manage to eek out this year, but the ideas are always comforting and fun to imagine. I hope you are well!
Need some of these recipes!!
All those treats look delicious.
Note to self: do not read Elizabeth's sweet recipes during the 2:00 slump of the day. Boy do they look good!!!
I am totally confused now and must have gained 20 pounds.
That pecan cheesecake is one I'll try. Yummy
