Thanksgiving Desserts

Traditional desserts for Thanksgiving include Pumpkin pie, cranberry and blueberry mix pie, pecan tart with bourbon whipped cream, apple pie and tapioca pudding. Pumpkin Pie is not very sweet but has a distinct flavor and texture while tapioca pudding is a fun dessert for kids. We have chosen recipes of fall desserts with classic aromas and flavors for this Thanksgiving Day. There are triangle cookies and pumpkin pots of cream that your guests will certainly love and appreciate. The pastries and crusts for pecan tart, apple pie and triangle cookies can be prepared ahead of time and can be stored in refrigerator, wrapped up in plastic and then aluminum foil, for several weeks.

Pecan tart is often too rich with the use of brown butter and brown sugar, so add more pecans and bourbon whipped cream to it to cut down on the richness of the tart. It balances the texture and flavor of the feast. Triangle cookies look beautiful and add visual delight to the table, where cranberries look like rubies, pistachios like emeralds and candied orange peel resembles amber. It is not very sweet but the taste of toasted almonds, spicy crystallized ginger, dried fruit and pistachios, is delicious. Silvery quince paste under rosy-colored apples on the apple pie makes it look beautiful and add intense flavor to it. Pumpkin pots of cream will of course be a delightful experience for your guests and they will always remember it.
