Thanksgiving Dessert Recipe Round Up

Thanksgiving is all about gathering around the table and sharing delicious food that brings loved ones together. When it comes to desserts, we believe the final course should be as memorable as the meal itself, which is why we’ve curated a roundup of our favorite Thanksgiving dessert recipes.  

Let’s take a bite! 

 

4 Thanksgiving Dessert Ideas

 

From classic pies to seasonal twists, each recipe is crafted to make the holiday sweeter and leave a lasting impression. Dive into these delicious ideas, perfect for creating a festive dessert spread that ends your Thanksgiving feast on the sweetest note. Use this round up of Thanksgiving desserts to inspire your menu: 

 

1. Pumpkin Pie with Bourbon Whipped Cream

An iconic American dessert that captures the essence of autumn in every delicious bite, pumpkin pie features a golden crust and a delicious, earthy pumpkin puree center. Blended with signature Autumn-inspired spices and cooked until velvety-but-firm, pumpkin pie is a staple on our Thanksgiving dessert menu {but we won’t judge if you want to make it year-round}.   

Baking your Pumpkin Pie with Bourbon Whipped Cream in our best-selling Signature White Ruffle Pie Dish allows you to easily and stylishly transfer it from the oven to the table. You can pre-slice pieces of pie and place them on salad plates for guests to easily choose from, if you’d like, or place a pie knife next to the dish for easy self-serving. 

 

2. Pecan Pie

Among the many pies found on the Johnson family Thanksgiving dessert table, one stands out because of its rich, buttery filling and crunchy, nutty topping that's {simply} irresistible: Pecan Pie. The filling itself is a delightful blend of eggs, corn syrup, sugar, and vanilla extract, creating a sugar-sweet base for the star of the show: the pecans. 

This pie lends itself to being showcased on a cake stand, such as the Iris Blue Drop Large Ruffle Cake Stand with Glass Dome. Don’t forget the glass dome to keep it safe from debris or sticky fingers! Set out salad plates and matching or complementary utensils quick and easy self-serving.  

 

3. Apple Cake with Caramel Icing

Fresh Apple Cake with caramel icing is a true testament to the beauty of Autumn, capturing the essence of crisp November air, apple picking with family, and gathering for a get-together with loved ones.  The rich, moist cake is delightfully full of soft and succulent apple morsels, and the glossy caramel drizzle cascades down the sides, transforming each slice into a work of art that's {almost} too pretty to eat. 

For serving, we recommend showcasing your Fresh Apple Cake with Caramel Icing on a cake stand, such as our Signature White Ruffle 14-Inch Cake Stand, along with salad plates and matching or complementary utensils. Alternatively, you can present it on a serving board or platter for a more casual display – the choice is entirely up to you, and you can tailor your serving choices according to your overall Thanksgiving serving style.  

 

4. Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce

Bread pudding is made by combining bread, eggs, milk, sugar, spices, and fruits. The result is a delightful mix of textures and tastes, where the soft, custardy interior of the pudding contrasts with the slightly crispy, caramelized crust. Topped with a rich whiskey sauce, this quick and easy dessert packs a punch. 

For serving, we recommend dishing this pudding straight from the loaf pan or casserole dish in small bowls or small plates with matching or complementary spoons. 

 

Bringing Your Celebration to a Sweet Close

 

As you plan your Thanksgiving menu, don’t overlook the power of a memorable dessert to bring your celebration to a sweet close!  So, gather your ingredients, set the table, and get ready to make this Thanksgiving a little sweeter with treats that will be remembered long after the last bite.
