Still looking for something sweet to serve for Thanksgiving dessert? Try one of these—5 of our favorite recipes, any one the perfect end to an extraordinary meal.
Maple Pumpkin Pie
We think every Thanksgiving table should have a pumpkin pie, and we love this maple version with whipped cream topping. Make it a few days ahead, and top right before serving.
Apple Slab Pie
Slab pies are great if rolling and baking pie crust has frustrated you in the past. Made freeform on a baking sheet, rolling can be less specific, and a shrinking crust won't cause a big, unusable mess. Be sure to give this pie plenty of time to rest to set the filling (at least 6 hours, preferably longer).
Pumpkin Date Cake with Maple Caramel Sauce
This cake is such a crowd pleaser. The recipe is easy with no special tools or equipment needed. A quick trip to the stove makes the best ever caramel sauce that soaks into the cake just like sticky toffy pudding. You'll crave this every year!
Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart
Free from pumpkin and spices, this tart is for the folks who like a little more of a classic dessert. Rich with chocolate and caramel, just a little sliver of this tart has a big impact.
Chocolate Sabayon Torte
This cake (that's a torte, rather than a tart) is all chocolate in the best ways. It may not be "seasonal" in terms of traditional fall flavors, but it is an impressive cake that any chocolate lover will be thrilled to slice.
