Let’s be honest. When dinner is done, everyone just looks at the dessert table. Thanksgiving Dessert is where all the magic happens. Whether you’re a pie addict or just like something a little more unexpected, this list has a dessert everyone at your table will eat!

That’s what everyone really expects
Let’s be honest. Everyone pretends that Thanksgiving is all about turkey, but we all know it’s actually dessert. This is all time in its salvation, it was created for the sake of architecture, and in truth the only part that some of us get. Pies, Crisps, cheesecakes, you name it. I’m ready! Are you?
Tips for making Thanksgiving desserts
- Repeat twice. Because there is no such thing as “too much dessert.”
- Mix things up. You don’t need five pies. A combination of pies, crisps, and bars keep things interesting.
- Make the best desserts. Fortunately, almost all of these desserts (aside from CRISP) taste better after a night in the fridge.
- Serve warm at the end. Arrange the crisps or galettes to come out of the oven before spoilage time.
- Don’t skip the toppings. A quick caramel drizzle of caramel or cinnamon sugar makes homemade desserts feel special.
- Reserve freezer space in advance. Desserts take up more room than you think when they are cold. Bake pies in a covered dish like this one! Then you can put them!
- Always serve with ice cream or whipped cream. I’m just saying… There are no rules against being together.
