10 Delicious Thanksgiving Desserts

In Style by Angela Amman4 Comments

Thanksgiving desserts
Making Thanksgiving desserts used to be a division of pies: pumpkin, apple, pecan. All families had their favorites and preferences — homemade whipped cream or à la mode — but pies ruled the post-dinner Thanksgiving table.

Today’s Thanksgiving dessert recipes are sampling a wider palate of flavors. Pumpkin appears in different forms — cakes, crêpes or tinged with chocolate. Pecan dabbles with bourbon. Apples aren’t the only fruit on the dessert menu as cranberries and quince make a tart appearance. We’ve found 10 delicious Thanksgiving desserts that will make your table more beautiful and give your taste buds a new, unexpected reason to sing.

Let us know which one — or ones! — you plan to try. We’ll bring the after-dinner coffee.
