While a Thanksgiving turkey may be the star of the show, we all know that most of us will be looking forward to the dessert. By dessert, I mean multiple desserts. We know that just one dessert is never enough.

We’re all looking forward to that pumpkin pie, or pecan pie, but there are many other delicious desserts that can be enjoyed during this festive time. Having said that, here is my latest list of all my delicious Thanksgiving dessert recipes. I wish you try all of them, though I know that’s a bit impossible to do, but pick your favorites. I know I have mine!

Even though this year presents its challenges, we can still enjoy this special time with our immediate family. I know I will make a couple delicious desserts just for my husband and I. I also love to make lots of cookies for the holidays and my traditional desserts which I will just deliver to my family on their doorsteps. This way they can all enjoy our usual favorites.

Without any further ado, here is my collection of incredible desserts that are sure to impress on Turkey day!
