With Thanksgiving coming up I thought I’d talk turkey about everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving dessert, pumpkin pie. Yum! One of my favorite recipes for pumpkin pie is right on the back of the Libby’s can, but you don’t have to stick with the traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I thought I’d share some other pumpkin recipes with you today. Just in case you want to put a new spin on your Thanksgiving dessert this year.
- I love these cute little pumpkin pie bites
- Not quite pumpkin pie, but still delicious, pumpkin cheesecake
- Pumpkin pie in miniature, pumpkin tartlets
- Looking for a lighter version? Try crustless pumpkin pie.
- Combine two Thanksgiving favorites and you get these mini pecan pumpkin pies.
- Or this pumpkin pecan bread pudding
- Not pie at all, but still delicious pumpkin tiramisu.
- This Fried Pumpkin Layer Cake with Cream Cheese and Orange Frosting from Paula Deen looks totally sinful!
- I want to try a pumpkin gingerbread trifle this year (I’ll let you know how it turns out).
- I love pumpkin rolls, you can make them ahead, freeze them, then pull them out of the freezer when you need them.
So what are you having for Thanksgiving dessert this year? The traditional pumpkin pie, or will you serve your pumpkin a different way?
