15 Thanksgiving Dessert Ideas

November 21, 2014 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! I am so excited for Thanksgiving and am starting to get my recipes together. This year my sister and her family are coming to visit and my niece has a sweet tooth just as I do so desserts are high on our Thanksgiving dinner menu.

1. Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream
2. Pumpkin Cheesecake with Praline Topping
3. Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
4. Spiced Pumpkin Bars
5. Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Sauce
6.“Starbucks” Pumpkin Bread with Struesel Topping
7. Pumpkin Loaf with Frosting
8. Ben Starr’s Pumpkin Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Candies Nuts

9. Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Dark Chocolate, Cranberries and White Chocolate Drizzle
10. Slab Apple Pie
11. Harvest Apple Pie
12. Cranberry Apple Crisp
13. Pecan Pies
14. Pecan Pie Cheesecake from Tasty Kitchen

15. Cheesecake Pumpkin Pecan Pie by Parsley Sage Sweet

What are your favorite Thanksgiving desserts? Are you a pumpkin, pecan or apple pie fan? Do your get your pies from a favorite bakery or do you make your own? Or do you skip the pies and make another favorite dessert? 

I would love to know more about your traditions and recipes so please feel free to share!

Have a great day!

    I'm ravenously hungry now. Though not for the pecan pie- that's one type I don't care for, simply because pecans don't appeal to me.

    Well you just had to do it, didn't you? Make it impossible for me to get through the cooking projects without using one of your delicious-looking recipes. However, I must tell you I make the best Pumpkin Chiffon Pie w/Whipped Cream Topping on the planet. Posting that next. Love you……

    Yummmmm! I will make a pecan pie using my mom's recipe. Though I drool over dessert recipes every year I always make the pecan pie…i always imagine my mother having a good laugh, as I would never eat it growing up. It really is so good! I hope you are having a good week!

    OMG!!!! I am craving something sweet! These look so decadent, that last one could do me in big time.
    We are very lucky have a very special farm, Youngs Farm that makes the most divine pies and theres a line out around the building every Thanksgiving and Christmas but its worth it…plus means less work for me, and seriously I could not compete with their amazing pies!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect?

Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
