Foodie Friday ~ Thanksgiving Dinner Part 3: Desserts & Cooks Tools


As promised, here is the third in a series of Thanksgiving Dinner recipes. Scroll down to see links for Parts 1 and 2. I, myself, could go straight from the dressing right to the desserts. So this little exercise in finding the most unique and fab finales was rather painful. I want to make them all!


HERE: 22 Delicious Desserts & Cooks Tools

Pumpkin-Espresso Tiramisu
I find Lady Fingers so fancy, don't you? I mean, how many Lady Fingers have you had in your kitchen? These have been soaked in espresso and brandy, let's just start there. An impressive dessert.

Caramel Apple Blondie Cheesecake
 "It’s an apple spice blondie filled with apples, topped with a no bake caramel cheesecake, topped with cinnamon apples and even more caramel sauce." Oh my!
Life, Love, and Sugar

Caramel Rum Banana Bread Pudding
Anything with caramel and rum seems seasonal to me. You can really make this very Thanksgiving-ish by using Pumpkin Bread.
Bakers Royale

Le Creuset


Julia Child’s Aunt Helen’s Fluffy Pumpkin Pie 
Thanks, Sara, for sending along this recipe. If it is good enough for Julia's Aunt Helen, then we all should enjoy it. "Mrs. Child’s addition of molasses, extra spices and especially bourbon breathe new life into the filling." Why am I not surprised about the bourbon?
NY Times


 Sahara Dessert Plate Set
It seems that for big family dinners, there is never enough plates. These plates  are sophisticated yet affordable, and will compliment many dish patterns.
Target

Pear Galette
Rustic and free form, this tart is an impressive finale to any feast.
Williams-Sonoma Taste


Luigi Bormioli
Crescendo Footed Cake Plate & Dome
I have been looking for something like this for a long time. It's crystal clear and chic for cakes and pastries.

Chocolate Pumpkin Cake With Spiced Brown Butter Frosting
This cake is quite a beauty! I would never think to put these two together but the spiced frosting marries the pumpkin and chocolate together beautifully.
Love and Duck Fat


Caramel Apple Pie
Is there anything more comforting than a wonderful warm slice of apple pie? This pie promises to be "sweet, lightly spiced, and incredibly soft and tender."
Heather Christo


Nonstick Pie Kit by Rose Levy Beranbaum
I make a really good pie, but the crust falls apart every time. I need this. How about you?
Food52

Pumpkin S'mores Tart
This is exactly what pumpkin pie needs, Chocolate ganache and marshmallow meringue. Better make two of them, as everyone will want a slice!
How Sweet Eats

Pie Box
I can't get enough of this little guy, so excuse me for bringing it to you again. If you are serious about getting your pie "anywhere" in style and safely, you need one.
Food52

Apple Dumplings
I couldn't resist these pretty parcels of apple gooeyness. The author of the recipe used store bought crust. Even I could do this.
The Brewer and The Baker

Coconut Pumpkin Chiffon Pie
This recipe is for my Dad. He so would have loved this creamy confection! It's a no bake dessert that I am going to try!
Spicy Southern Kitchen

Chocolate, Cajeta, and Salted Pecan Mud Pie
What is cajeta you might ask? It's also known as Dulce de Leche made from goats milk. This pudding pie sounds like a winner.

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Cupcakes with Butter Pecan Frosting
One of my favorite things is chocolate pecan pie, until I saw these little nuggets. Yummy!
Half Baked Harvest

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Whoopie Pies
When you blend a Pumpkin Latte with rich cream cheese, you get these.

Nutella Covered Pumpkin Crepes
Treat your guests to the unexpected. Crepes might be French in origin but these flavors are all American!
Savory Style

Ferm Living Organic Cotton Apron
Certainly not your Grandma's apron. The geometric design dresses up a simple outfit. Gender friendly, too.
Burke Decor

Sweet Potato Souffle
Another impressive dessert. It isn't as difficult as it looks. This beautiful looking dish is made with frozen phyllo dough. 
Martha Stewart

Pumpkin Butterbeer Hot Chocolate
Serve this as your after dinner drink! P.S. This recipe calls for bourbon.
Half Baked Harvest
