A true national holiday in the USA, Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to bring family and friends together around a carefully cooked meal.
How to make a Thanksgiving dessert?
Before telling the menu about the creation of your dream dessert, a quick update on the Thanksgiving holiday. This day of sharing and thanks is celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday of November, i.e. November 28 in 2024. And there is nothing religious about this holiday, which is why the majority of Americans celebrate it! Among the typical Thanksgiving dishes, we find the famous turkey, cranberry sauce, but also pumpkin-based desserts.
The pumpkin pie, star of Thanksgiving
When we talk about Thanksgiving, it’s impossible not to mention pumpkin pie, this famous pumpkin pie made with cinnamon, cloves, ginger, or even cardamom. Across the Atlantic, it is not uncommon to find ready-made and spiced pumpkin puree in supermarkets, to be placed on the base of a pie. In France, this type of product can be more difficult to find, so you will have to head to an American grocery store to find it. But — and this is more than recommended — you can also prepare your pumpkin pie from A to Z.
Aside from pumpkin pie, many other pumpkin-based desserts go well with the Thanksgiving holiday. In cake, mousse, cheesecake, magic cake, roll, or layered versions, zoom in on these Thanksgiving desserts that have it all.
