Thanksgiving Dessert Alternatives - Heritage Real Estate Co.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and it's a great time to think about what desserts to bake. Whether you're hosting or visiting, you'll want to bring something sweet to the table that offers an option other than classic pumpkin, pecan, or sweet potato pie. Our real estate agents encourage you to makes these pie-alternatives that everyone will be thankful for.

  1. Kick Off the Holiday Season Early with Cookies
    There's never a bad time to bake a plate of cookies, and Thanksgiving is a perfect holiday to experiment with new recipes. We recommend adding cranberry bliss cookies to your baking sheet. The good news is that you can use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe as a starting point and modify a few details, such as swapping to chocolate chips for cranberries and white chocolate chips. This recipe will also encourage you to use a combination of butter and shortening, a drip of vinegar, and a little cinnamon and orange zest to refine the taste. You can make and bake these cookies in about thirty minutes and enjoy results that taste like Christmas is coming!


  2. Slice into a Cake
    Yes, you could bring in a cheesecake instead of a pie, but if you really want to wow your friends and family members, we suggest cooking up a caramel apple poke cake. This is a great fall dessert that is surprisingly simple to make. You can cook up 16, serving from start to finish in under two hours. Ingredients include a box of vanilla cake mix, apple pie spice, a can of apple pie filling, and caramel sauce — all of which you can quickly (and affordably) grab from your local grocer.


  3. Bring Bread Pudding to the Table
    Steal the spotlight with the warm embrace of an autumn pumpkin cranberry bread pudding. Scrumptious and straightforward, you'll only need around 15 minutes of prep time before you allow it to cook for three hours. Combine ingredients and pour over bread cubes placed in a slow cooker. As the bread bakes, you'll create a sauce from scratch in about 20 minutes. This dish is best served straight out of the slow cooker and paired with a tasty vanilla ice cream scoop.


  4. Plate a Batch of Bars
    If you're looking to put a new twist on a few old classics, then you'll love these sweet potato cheesecake bars. Whip up a few dozen on then in less than one hour with a surprisingly easy recipe. Although a baker's dozen of ingredients may make this dish seem complicated, it essentially only requires a little mixing, blending, and baking. Once they've cooled, you'll have a unique yet irresistible treat that will fly off of the serving tray long before dessert rolls around.


  5. Get Festive with Flan
    If you're looking for a truly unique treat, flan is the way to go! Smooth, silky, and certainly unlike anything else on the dessert table, we recommend baking this festive pumpkin flan. You can make a six-serving flan with only 45-minutes of prep time and a little over a half-hour of baking. Although the recipe calls for a dozen or so ingredients, preparing a pumpkin flan is quite easy. The majority of the process is stirring ingredients into a heated skillet before baking. After cooling and letting it refrigerate for a few hours, the flan is ready for serving.
