Thanksgiving dessert recipes have to achieve a fine line between being traditional (think: pumpkin pie) and being something that will knock your guests' socks off. You want them to be easy to prepare (bonus points if the recipe can be made in advance). But you want to make something a little special, too. If at the end of Thanksgiving dinner, everyone asks you for the recipes for those fabulous desserts, you will know you have hit the mark. Enjoy!
