    These recipes all sound tantalizing and perfect for my newfound diet, or way of eating, except I'd have to make them all gluten free.

    My favorite "no pie" dessert for Thanksgiving is Pumpkin Flan. But these look delicious too!
  • effalicious Nov 18, 2009 @ 8:16 pm | delete
    Pumpkin Pie is sooooooooooo good, however these look even better. I will definitely put in a request for that creamy pumpkin cheesecake...yummy

    What a delightful lens with so many yummy desserts. I will lens roll you to my 2 pumpkin lens and add you as a featured lens too. Well done!
  • Jodi_k Nov 16, 2009 @ 9:26 am | delete
    I like pie! But, I'm always in favor of cheesecake and that chocolate peanut butter tart looks really yummy too.
  • mitchking Nov 12, 2009 @ 4:00 pm | delete
    I do love pie, but my crust never turns out right. But these look great too!!
  • LouieGee Nov 11, 2009 @ 8:34 pm | delete
    Wonderful lens!! :-) Thanks so much for posting this!
    As a non-American, you've given me heaps of ideas for hosting my first Thanksgiving this year!
  • wayfarer Nov 11, 2009 @ 3:59 pm | delete
    I'm kind of an anomaly in my family because I'm the only one who doesn't like pumpkin pie.
  • lasertek Nov 9, 2009 @ 6:37 pm | delete
    Been looking for a new recipe for Thanksgiving. Surely, I'll consider serving this dish. Thanks for sharing.

    Visit my lens as well if you got time. Thanks

  • momof7 Nov 8, 2009 @ 9:09 pm | delete
    Pumpkin is such a great ingredient for desserts! There's no reason to limit oneself to plain old pie. 5* lens.
  • MountainGreens Nov 8, 2009 @ 8:01 pm | delete
    Great ideas and just in time for me to get my menu ready. Thanks so much!

    Congrats on LotD:) It's a great one--I'm over the whole Pumpkin Pie thing, so any ideas for alternatives are quite welcome!

    These look and sound delicious. I agree with CherylK there isn't one recipe that I wouldn't love. 5*
  • Surfie Nov 8, 2009 @ 4:31 pm | delete
    These recipes all sound fantastic! I can't wait to try one (or all!) of them. Thanks for sharing!
  • Margo_Arrowsmith Nov 8, 2009 @ 3:56 pm | delete
    Yummy 5* lens. You could also add Waldorf Salad, which I think is a must for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its a dessert that you serve as a side dish with dinner! Gives you a head start on the dessert!


    Congratulations on the lens of the day!">
  • jennysue19 Nov 8, 2009 @ 1:24 pm | delete
    I think I'd go for the Pumpkin Roll - or maybe the choc peanut butter tart - or both - with cream

    PS Do you US guys do custard with desserts - what the French call creme anglaise?
  • Stazjia Nov 8, 2009 @ 11:45 am | delete
    I'm almost drooling after reading these recipes and looking at the pictures. They sound totally scrumptious. I'm bookmarking them even though we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK - we still have pumpkins and peanut butter, etc. Blessed by an Angel.
  • CherylK Nov 8, 2009 @ 7:53 am | delete
    These all look really good - I don't think there's one recipe here that I wouldn't love. The Apple and Pear Crisp in your Other Desserts category piques my interest, too. Congratulations on this winning lens. It's well deserved and I'm happy for CAER Food Shelf - especially since I'm a Minnesotan, too.
  • KM9999999 Nov 7, 2009 @ 11:46 pm | delete
    That pumpkin cheese cake sounds really good. I'm going to have to try that. :)

  • JaguarJulie Nov 6, 2009 @ 3:31 pm | delete
    I would say that the "Gingerbread Pumpkin Trifle" looks to die for! It is for the trifle that I look forward to Thanksgiving with the hubby's pack of relatives up in Georgia.
  • RGoutal Nov 6, 2009 @ 3:28 pm | delete
    OK I voted "pie only" but these look great for the days before and after Thanksgiving ! LOL (Yikes!)
