With Thanksgiving very soon, (like 3 days), my mother has probably prepared countless desserts and sides dishes to bring to our aunt’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. But in case you haven’t prepared so far in advance like my family, I complied 5 quick pumpkin desserts that will have everyone at the table talking.
1. Pumpkin Cheesecake
I might have lied when I said this one was quick, but it will be so worth it. Cheesecake is a dessert staple for any holiday in my family, but mixed with pumpkin, this cheesecake is next level. With all the best things about cheesecake and all the best things about pumpkin, this dessert will have everyone thinking you got it from some fancy bakery.

2. Pumpkin Apple Pie
We all love pumpkin pie, but combining two favorite Thanksgiving desserts? That just sounds crazy. But with all the amazing things that we all love about pumpkin pie and apple pie separately, mixing the two together will have everyone left with a new fav Thanksgiving treat.

3. Pumpkin Bread
My mom has made all sort of bread, like banana, blueberry, apple and zucchini, but pumpkin bread continues to be my favorite. It is a little easier, one pan and one baking time, and with some chocolate chips on top, this bread is something that can be eaten all year round in my book.

4. Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Again, maybe not the quickest dessert, but another one that the time it takes will be so worth it. Whoopie pies seem to be not a dessert that a lot of people make or talk about, and maybe it is because they can be a little tricky, but think of it as making cupcakes, just with another cupcake on top. It is all the best things about pumpkin bread with a next level icing center.

5. Pumpkin Dip
In case you aren’t into making pie crusts, this pumpkin dip is basically like a pumpkin pie, but in a bowl that you can dip into. Graham cracker, ginger snap cookies and even cinnamon-sugar pita chips are all available and encouraged options for this spin on pumpkin pie.
