A New Take on Thanksgiving Desserts
“Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday, the best part about Thanksgiving aside from the turkey are the desserts. An all-time favorite dessert is the pumpkin pie, served warm with ice cream or whipped topping. Let’s step outside the box for a second, if you are looking to blow your family away with new holiday desserts, try these out:
Pumpkin Cheesecake with a Bourbon Sauce, much like a New York style cheesecake but with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and mace added to the filling with a cream bourbon sauce on top.
Pumpkin Spice Donuts, “It’s time to make the donuts” It might be time consuming process but it’s so worth making donuts from scratch and taking them fresh out the deep fryer and sprinkling granulated sugar and cinnamon on top of them.
Looking for something less time consuming? How about take your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, baking them off and adding ganache with pieces of cranberries. See recipe below.
