Thanksgiving Desserts

We all love Thanksgiving. This is the time to be grateful for family and friends. It’s also time to think of those less fortunate. Many of us take time or donate what we can to help those in need enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings.

It’s a time for thanks and food. Oh, the food. We eat on Thanksgiving. We overeat.

We all have our favorite foods. Maybe you are a traditionalist who just loves the turkey. Maybe you are all about the stuffing. Perhaps your aunt make a homemade cranberry sauce worthy of medal recognition.

Or maybe you are really into the dessert. Before falling asleep in front of a TV with a football game on, you gotta have dessert. And there is usually a few options to choose from.

Thanksgiving has a rich tradition, even when it comes to Thanksgiving desserts. Nowadays, pie is a big hit on the Thanksgiving dessert table. Pumpkin pie is outstanding and really tastes like Thanksgiving. You can’t go wrong with pecan pie (unless you are allergic to nuts). And apple pie also is a great dessert option (get the ice cream out for a little apple pie a la mode).

Pie is a traditional Thanksgiving dessert that has been on Thanksgiving menus for decades. In looking at one Thanksgiving history website, we find that mincemeat pie, pumpkin pie and apple pie were all on the Thanksgiving menu. The menu was from 1779. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

If you want a Thanksgiving pie with an ice cream twist, serve up a Praline’s ice cream pie for your Thanksgiving dessert. Praline’s features a delicious pumpkin ice cream pie. We’re talking about pumpkin ice cream, drizzled with salty caramel and finished with a whipped topping trimming. Order your ice cream pie today.

Happy Thanksgiving!
