Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you’re planning a feast for family and friends, you’ll want to get your Thanksgiving dessert lineup in order. We’ve put together some Thanksgiving dessert ideas showcasing your favorite holiday sweets and some special treats.
Know Who’s Coming to Dinner
Get an accurate guest count for Thanksgiving dinner. Knowing how many people you’ll be serving helps determine how many desserts you’ll need.
Along with confirming the number of guests, you’ll want to verify any dietary restrictions or food allergies in advance so that you can plan your desserts appropriately. In addition to these considerations, you’ll also want to know the adult-to-child ratio so that you can have some sweets that both adults and children will love.
Pair Classics With New Favorites
Everyone has a favorite Thanksgiving dessert. For some, Thanksgiving wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a piece of pumpkin pie. For others, Thanksgiving means digging into a piece of spice or gingerbread cake served with whipped cream and poached pears.
When putting together your Thanksgiving dessert repertoire, balance the classics with new favorites. A holiday celebration is an opportunity to try something new, such as pumpkin bread pudding or a rustic apple tart.
Invite Guests to Contribute
In the spirit of celebration and family, why not encourage your guests to bring a Thanksgiving dessert to your dinner? By assigning some of the Thanksgiving preparation to your guests, they can truly feel like they’re a part of the festivities. Encourage your friends and family to share their favorite recipes for desserts.
Inventory Your Serving Ware
Finally, make sure your Thanksgiving baked goods and desserts have places of importance on your holiday dessert buffet. It’s a good idea to get out all of your serving pieces in advance of the big day and make sure you have enough utensils, dishes, and platters that can accommodate all the Thanksgiving desserts you’ll be offering to your guests. You don’t want to discover on Thanksgiving morning that you’re missing a cake stand or an all-important pie server.
