The 13 Best Thanksgiving Desserts

Filed Under: BLOG, Holiday Recipes, Recipes, round-up, roundups, Thanksgiving Tagged With: recipes, Roundups, Thanksgiving Desserts

The best part of Thanksgiving is the desserts! Some would argue for the turkey or maybe even the green bean casserole, but turkey isn’t exactly the part I look forward to when it comes to Thanksgiving. If you are looking for a new and fun dessert to try this Thanksgiving, I have rounded up some of the best Thanksgiving desserts recipes out there! From turkeys to Pilgrims and even the classic pumpkin pie, there is sure to be something that you’ll like.

    We have twenty pumpkins in the garage waiting for one of us to have the time to scoop them out and bake a pie. Maybe this weekend?

    Happy Weekend, Janine! Enjoy the heck out of it.

    I love dessert. For Thanksgiving, we usually have a sweet potato pie and that is the bomb! I may have to see which of these I might be interested in try and incorporating this year in our Thanksgiving. Not much more time to go.

    I usually look forward to pecan pie, which to me is the ultimate indulgence! I love those little pumpkin pies, though. They are beautiful, and it would be easy to serve a crowd:)

    those pumpkin pie slices cookies always excite me. I have to make them one time. I don’t remember having any super amazing Thanksgiving desserts in the last few years. I can change that!
