πŸ‚ Sweet Thanksgiving Classics + Modern Twists πŸ‚


Hi Reader,
​
It’s time to bring out the rolling pins and whip up something sweet for the holiday table, if you're in the U.S. like me. Whether you’re a pie lover or simply love trying new takes on tradition, I’ve got you covered with my favorite Thanksgiving desserts.

πŸ₯§ The Classics

Here are my 25 Best Thanksgiving Pie & Dessert Recipes and Dessert Toppings too.

Growing up I used to hate pie. And to this day, I still can’t eat a store-bought pie. It’s part of the reason I got into baking cupcakes and making truffles because I felt other holiday options should exist.

🍫 Not a Pie Person? Try These!

Here's my full list of Non-traditional Thanksgiving Desserts.

🌾 Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Favorite

  • ​Chocolate Pumpkin Torte – My go-to alternative for guests with dietary needs. You’d never know it’s GF + DFβ€”so decadent and rich! Readers have topped it with toasted almonds and swear it's their new fave.

Whichever dessert you choose, I hope it brings warmth, joy, and a little sweetness to your Thanksgiving table. 🧑

Happy Baking,
​Stephanie Gonzalez​
