Need Thanksgiving dessert ideas? Whether you’re looking for sweet potato pie, mini pecan pies or even a pumpkin dump cake, these easy Thanksgiving desserts are sure to have something you’re looking for.
Tis the season for amazing, decadent desserts and rich flavors! I love this time of year. Caramel, apple, pears, chocolate, pecans, peppermint, sugar cookies, truffles and more.
As filling as Thanksgiving dinner always is, I can’t help but look forward to the perfect Thanksgiving dessert plate. A warm mug of apple cider and any classic fall dessert is the perfect way to end a Thanksgiving meal on turkey day.
Now some people go all out and make things like pumpkin bars, apple hand pies, a no bake pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap crust. While some stick with Thanksgiving traditions and make the classic pies topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
You can even go simpler and stick with some chocolate chip cookies! Whatever your favorite Thanksgiving desserts are, you will definitely find something that satisfies your sweet tooth on this list for your holiday season.
I go back and forth with what to make. For years, my family always made a Mocha Pie, delicious layers of brownies, pudding and whipped cream all spiked with coffee and chocolate.
But then I decided I wanted to play around with some other varieties like Apple Pie and Chocolate Pie. Then came the ultimate request: a blend of the two best Thanksgiving pies, pumpkin and apple.
Here is a list of not only my best Thanksgiving desserts but also some of my blogger friend’s most popular Thanksgiving desserts as well. Enjoy!
