At my table- it doesn't matter how many people I am cooking for on Thanksgiving- whether it's 8 or 28, there always are several Thanksgiving desserts on the menu!
Of course, you have to have a freshly baked pumpkin pie. A Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie is almost like a Thanksgiving without turkey! And in my house, it has to be the traditional Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe made with a graham cracker crust.
But besides the pumpkin pie- I like to have something with chocolate, and maybe something with fruit, and I like to cut pieces small so guests are tempted to try a bite or two of each!
So while I haven't completely decided what I will be baking this year- here are my top 10 choices for Thanksgiving desserts this year!
Thanksgiving Desserts: Small Bites:
I love truffles! They are the perfect bite-sized dessert! So the idea of combining one of my favorite cookies into a truffle makes my mouth water! Biscoff Truffles courtesy of Jane's Patisserie.

Thanksgiving Desserts: Pies, Tarts, and Cakes:
For a deep, rich, chocolate dessert this chocolate tart from Everyday Annie looks amazing!

I know that my son Spencer will be requesting his personal favorite- apple galette with dried cherries!
Or maybe I could convince him to try something new this year and make this apple caramel pie from Six Sister's Stuff!
I know I have a couple of family members who would love it if I made my best-ever red velvet cake!
Thanksgiving Desserts: Something creamy:
Chocolate mousse is a favorite dessert in our family- often requested for birthdays. Maybe this year we'll try Fake Ginger's white chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce.
And speaking of raspberries- maybe I'll make some of these mini raspberry cheesecakes. I've forgotten how much my husband loves them!

And I think every one of the dishes above could be made even better served with a scoop of this brown sugar cinnamon ice cream! Courtesy of Sugardish Me.
