Thanksgiving Desserts: Brought to you by Pinterest
11 Nov
I’ve already professed my love for Pinterest in this post. This evening, I thought I’d share some yummy Thanksgiving dessert recipe ideas I’ve spotted on the website recently!
Pumpkin Dump Cake
A simple recipe including pumpkin, brown sugar, yellow cake mix, & pecans. My mom actually makes another type of “dump cake” recipe (with cherries & pineapple) that’s more fitting for the spring/summer months & it’s delicious, so I’d be curious to see how this compares.
Pumpkin Crunch Cake
Another simple, pumpkin-based recipe, with ingredients that I have on-hand (or am able to get easily). That’s always huge for me – if the ingredients are going to require tons of effort to obtain, I’m out.
Pilgrim Hat Cookies
This is a three-ingredient recipe that would be perfect for a little something sweet after the big Thanksgiving meal. Perfect if you have young kids too; they can help assemble!
Pumpkin Praline Trifle
An unexpected twist on the “go-to” of pumpkin pie!
Chocolate Pecan Tart
I’ve recently come to love pecans, & pecan pie is the ultimate indulgent dessert. Add chocolate to that & what do you get? Heaven.
Apple Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
This looks like it might be a little above my skill-set (even though I love to bake), but it’s probably worth the effort it takes!
Chris & I will be attending both my family’s & his family’s Thanksgivings this year, so I’m thinking I might need to try out one of these recipes for the occasion. Perhaps I’ll start off simple & go with the three-ingredient Pilgrim cookies! 
What do you usually have for dessert on Thanksgiving?
Ah I’m actually on Pinterest right now! Great finds! Those desserts look delicious. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take part in baking this year as much as usual because of work, but I’m hoping to try some new recipes soon!
Maybe the Pilgrim cookies are for you then too!
That pumpkin dump cake looks and sounds incredible. Just the name alone! How could you go wrong.
I know! It looks so simple!
I want to make all these recipes right now!
My sweet tooth was running rampant when I wrote this post!
Those pumpkin cookies are too cute! I am a huge pumpkin pie fan although I have never actually made one myself.
Me either! I love it too though!
Just found your blog and love it so far!
I am OBSESSED with pinterest. All of these recipes look so great! Those pilgrim hats are ADORABLE.
Thanks Jordan; welcome!
I’d say go ahead and make a few sample recipes.. ill help you taste and pick a “winner” to make!
Yum! I can’t wait to make a Thanksgiving dessert. I’m feelin pumpkin cheesecake this year! The dump cake sounds delicious though and they’re wayyy too easy to make!
A bite of everything! …..I’m going to have to get creative for dessert this year- they expect more from me the older I get so the dessert I bring can’t be a flop. I better start practicing on some of these!
