Now, there are other desserts that are traditionally served at this feast, but these
often vary from family to family as well as by region of the country. But
if your dessert menu is looking for something new this year, may I offer some
suggestions. For the pumpkin lover, besides pumpkin pie, try either
the Pumpkin Spice Cake or the Pumpkin Cheesecake as it combines that classic New
York-style cheesecake (always a favorite) with pumpkin puree and its
complementary spices. Other real showstoppers are the raspberry-topped Chocolate Genoise,
the truffle-topped Chocolate Hazelnut Torte, the Raspberry Cream-filled Sponge
Cake, the beautifully topped Fruit Tart, or the brilliantly colored Red Velvet
Cake. More homey desserts are the Apple Pie, Apple Crisp, or the Cranberry
Pear and Apple Crumble. Of course, we cannot forget the children, and
nothing pleases them more than cookies, whether that is Chocolate Chip Cookies,
Chocolate Fudge, or deliciously decorated Gingerbread Men.
We will soon be heading
into the busy Holiday Season which means decorating the house, buying gifts and
lots and lots of baking. So for now, take the time to give thanks and
enjoy the company of your family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving.
