Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes
Last time, we talked about Thanksgiving dinner recipes. Today, we conquer Thanksgiving dessert recipes from one of my favorite sites, Simply Recipes.
Again, for those of you who have I Love to Cheat, you already know what to do on Thanksgiving.
There were many wonderful Thanksgiving desserts to choose from. But I narrowed it down to five.
Just click the name of the dessert for a link to the Thanksgiving recipe.
Apple Cranberry Currant Crumble Pie Recipe
This pie would make a delicious dessert after any Thanksgiving dinner.
And I bet the smell of it baking in the oven is heavenly.
This recipe has less sugar than most, so you can enjoy the taste of the pecans. And it’s super easy to make.
Be sure to read the comments in Elise’s post for other variations on how to make this.
Brandied Cranberry, White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Betcha never thought of brandied cranberries before?
For people who don’t like pie, this is a wonderful Thanksgiving dessert alternative.
Sweet Potato Pie With Pecan Topping Recipe
This is a Southern favorite.
Being from the North, I’ve never tried it. But that may change this year!
Be sure to read the comments in Elise’s post, too. There’s another recipe for Little Sweet Potato Pies that you won’t want to miss.
And finally, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving dessert without a pumpkin pie recipe. Here’s one with a mouthwatering twist…
This is a special Thanksgiving dessert recipe that Elise describes as “wicked good.”
The whipped cream alone will kill anyone’s diet, but hey, it’s Thanksgiving. One day. Live a little!
After all, what kind of Thanksgiving desserts did you expect from a website called I Love to Cheat Diet?

Are you purposely trying to make us fat? I’m getting frustrated here.

Hi Laurie,
I wouldn’t purposely try to make anyone fat. But you have to realize you’re reading the I Love To Cheat Diet blog. I don’t do carrot and celery sticks here.
Having said that, though, I encourage everyone to follow the weight loss plan that works for them (as long as it’s healthy). If you don’t want to eat sweets or any of the recipes I’ve listed for Thanksgiving, don’t. It’s that simple.
This is just an alternative for people who follow my diet or can work these recipes into their own diets. I think a lot of people suspend dieting on Thanksgiving anyway.
In my opinion, most dieters could eat one regular serving of turkey, stuffing, vegetables, potatoes and dessert on Thanksgiving and not see a tremendous difference in their weight. Where most people get tripped up is eating too many servings or gargantuan servings to the point that they feel uncomfortable or even sick from too much food.
I hope you have a good Thanksgiving, Laurie, no matter what you choose to eat.

That chiffon pumpkin pie does look wicked good. I wish I could cook.

I’ve always shied away from pecan pie because it tastes so sugary. But I might try this recipe because the rest of my family loves pecan pie and this one might be good even for me.

You need a designated driver after eating some of these desserts.

Oh Rhett, I do declare, I’ll have some sweet potato pie!
I didn’t know anybody still ate like that. It sounds good, though.

Debbie, you’re becoming a food trigger. I like it!
