Today, I’m sharing Everyone’s Favorite Thanksgiving Desserts to help you find the perfect sweet ending for your holiday meal. This year’s list has everything from our Brown Sugar Cookie Pie and Frosted Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Blondies to the Molten Chocolate Crackle Pie and last year’s Maple Pecan Pie. If you’re searching for something extra delicious to bake this season, you’ll definitely find it here—and maybe even discover a new favorite.
It’s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving! I’m so excited. It feels so good to be home with family. The weather is chilly and cozy, just right for cooking, baking, and spending time in the kitchen. With so many years of holiday recipes in our library, I wanted to take today to highlight some of the very best desserts we’ve shared over the years.
Looking back through all the recipes is always so fun. I still can’t believe how many holiday treats I’ve created and shared with you all. This really is the time of year that lights me up.
I know many of you already have your menus set—and maybe even a pie or two already baked—but if you’re still looking for that perfect dessert (or desserts… because you can never have too many), this list is the place to start.
What desserts are you planning to make? It’s always so special to see what you all end up baking each year. And let me know what desserts you’d like to see in December—if you have requests, share them below.
And I’m sure I said this last year, but my absolute favorite thing to do while baking this week is light a holiday candle and play some Christmas music!

Brown Sugar Maple Pecan Cookie Pie
THE gooey, yummy pie to add to this year's Thanksgiving menu, but it can easily be served all season long!
Sweetened with mostly maple syrup, which pairs so nicely with pumpkin. I then added in a homemade chai spice mix, plenty of good vanilla extract, and a little heavy cream to keep the pie silky smooth. Still pretty traditional, but it’s that chai spice mix that makes this pie over the top good.
Chai Pumpkin Cake with Maple Browned Butter Frosting
Three soft, perfectly sweet, extra pumpkiny, chai spiced pumpkin cake layers. Each generously frosted with the most delicious maple browned butter frosting. Decorate with mini pumpkin cakes and you’ll have a deliciously festive pumpkin cake that tops any ordinary pumpkin pie.

Black Bottom Pumpkin Pie! Basically, it’s the pie crust, a bit of chocolate ganache then the pumpkin filling. Combines 2 great tastes in one! I’m the only one who eats pie so I make mini versions… Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
These are all incredible. How do I choose!!! Thank you!!
Thanks so much, Karolyn! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
