Whimsy Wednesday: Thanksgiving Desserts Edition

Thanksgiving may be two weeks away still, but the holidays have a way of sneaking up on us. And I refuse to let my fellow collegiettes down on the homefront…. literally! Here are some twists on awesome dessert classics that will leave everyone’s sweet tooth satisfied and not a single slice left in the pan.

For the Chocolate Lover’s: S’mores Pudding Pie

The Pudding Pie is a staple dessert for the newcomers to the baking world and for those who are ‘on the go.’ However, a way to take this sweet classic up a notch is adding a few marshmallows on top — or even if you’re up for it, creating a marshmallow meringue to plop on top of the pie. Food Network has a fairly simple recipe that is easy to follow, and for a more advanced version try this recipe from Crazy for Crust — a baking blog!

For the Cookie Addict: Pumpkin Cookies

Now as every proper fall-lover knows, the bringing of autumn is of course the bringing of pumpkin everything. So I, of course, had to include something for my fellow cookie lovers out there. Here’s a twist on a basic sugar cookie that you can make just by incorporating some pumpkin. These little delights will melt in your mouth. I know I’ll definitely be trying this recipe from bhg.com.

For the Health Nut: Apple-Cranberry Slab Pie

The name may not sound exactly… tasty, but this dessert at only 149 calories a piece! This dessert will ensure those health fanatics that their diets won’t break and still give them a taste of the holiday season! This recipe comes from food blogger Generation Y and is sure to tickle those health-conscious taste buds of yours!

For the Traditionalist: Bourbon Apple Cider Pie

This next one is what I’ll be making over Thanksgiving break. I have a tradition of making Applie Pie for my family every year. This year I aim to make the best pie ever, and this FRIENDS-inspired recipe I stumbled across on Buzzfeed is sure to help me ensure this one a winner.

Now whatever dessert you decide to make, bake it with a little sugar, a little spice, and everything nice and — no, you won’t make the Powerpuff Girls, but you will make one heck of an amazing sweet dish. Enjoy the beginning of the Holiday Season and week of turkey leftover creations, collegiettes; I know I will!
