Thanksgiving Desserts? ?

Question

Because Thanksgiving is getting closer and closer my mom and I are scrambling for recipes. We need a couple of good (and reasonably healthy) desserts. Any ideas? We were thinking of a Honey Cake, we found the recipe on Sara Snow's website, anything else we should try?

Thank you in advance:)

Answer 3

These are really good.

Miniature Cheesecakes

1 1/2 packages (8 oz size) cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

3/4 tsp vanilla

Topping:

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

strawberry or pineapple preserves

Let cream cheese soften in a medium size bowl; add 1/2 cup sugar, and cream together thoroughly.

Add eggs, on at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add 3/4 tsp vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy.

Place paper cupcake (foil if you have them) in a muffin tin and using a teaspoon, fill each one 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated 300 F oven 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes (cakes will cave in slightly in center).

Make topping: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Using a teaspoon top each with a small amount, enough to cover the top. Top with small amount of preserves in center of each cake. Return pan to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes. Makes about 2-3 dozen.

Answer 4

There is a recipe called Pumpkin Yum that I love. My friend makes it with a yellow cake mix, canned pumpkin.....etc. If you can't find the recipe, leave a note for me under your question and I'll call my friend for it. You serve it in a 13 x 9" pan, and she always brings two because it's so good! Serve with whipped cream. It's like a cake and pie combo :)

Mine is similar to Chef Bette but not as many ingredients.

Answer 5

EASY COCONUT CAKE

1 pkg. deluxe white cake mix

1 (6 oz.) pkg. fresh frozen coconut

1 c. milk

1 c. sugar

Prepare cake mix as directed on package for sheet cake recipe. While cake is baking, combine half of the coconut with the milk and sugar; set aside. Remove cake from oven and pour coconut mixture evenly over cake. Cover with foil and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Spread whipped topping over cake. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Store in refrigerator.

I just made this dessert this morning - it tastes amazing!

Cranberry Bars - the square ones in the pic. Fast and easy to make. Note: I only used 1/2 tsp. of the ginger, and that was plenty.
