Inspire me, people.
I love pumpkin cheesecake. Not a huge fan of traditional apple pie, but apple strudel hits the spot!
ReplyDeleteThis year I'd like to work on a crunchy caramelized garnish for the cheesecake - bourbon based.
I'd have to say last year's dessert of almond tuilles with pumpkin mousse is my new favorite.
ReplyDeleteMmm... I love cranberry trifle the best! Don't know how to make it, but my aunt makes one every year for the potlucks. It's to die for...

It's all about pecan pie!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely giveaway! If I could have a dream Thanksgiving, I wouldn't have dessert; I would instead have a Dr. Cow nut cheese plate. However, if this was not possible, I have never been able to resist pecan pie!
ReplyDeleteTofu Pumpkin pie with candied cranberries!
ReplyDeletecheap purchase - Trader Joe's apple streudel
ReplyDeleteexpen$ive purchase - Real Food Daily's gingerbread cake (INCREDIBLE)
make at home - coconut lemon bundt cake from Veganomicon
Apple or Pumpkin Pie - call me unadventurous but I don't really get to eat them other times in the year!
ReplyDeleteThis year I made (for Canadian thanksgiving) a chocolate-pumpkin pudding (I had intended to make a pie but was too busy with the other courses to make a crust). It went over very well and was rather easy: blend together mori nu tofu, pumpkin, cocoa, maple syrup, cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves/ginger, throw in dark chocolate shavings, et voila!
ReplyDeletepumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! yum!
ReplyDeleteI really love my mom's fruit compote, there is a link to it on pakupaku.info if you wanna see it. It is basically canned fruit in a sugar simple, but it is amazing with stuffin' and all the trimmings and really easy to make, too.

I'm making the pecan pie from the Millenium cookbook with a bourbon sauce to go with it. If you want to get away from pie, a couple years ago I made a pumpkin roulade from Bryanna's Vegan Feast newsletter that was outrageously good.
ReplyDeletenot too surprising, but my favorite is pumpkin pie... followed by a slice of pecan pie! my grandmother always served both (large family) and I loved balancing the spice of the pumpkin with the overly-sweet sweetness of the pecan.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is cranberry cake with warm butter sauce, a family tradition that was easily veganized. The cake isn't overly sweet, but the rich and warm butter sauce is amazing. When I eat it, I'm reminded of my childhood.
ReplyDeleteChai-chocolate raw cheesecake is so amazing. it's my seasonal fave

This is a GREAT give-away!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have thanksgiving this side of the pond but I can imagine I'd want to make something light after all the delicious main course chowing that has been going on. So bearing that in mind I'd make something like Cranberry sorbet.
My nana's cherry pie. She used to bake one especially for me each year because I could not be trusted to share. I miss her.
ReplyDeleteever since i made apple strudel the first time for christmas a few years ago i'm not allowed to come to holiday dinners without it! there also has to be something pumpkiny to satisfy me.
ReplyDeleteThe black bottom peanut butter silk pie from VwaV. OH MY GOODNESS.
ReplyDeletevegan pumpkin pie!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab giveaway, all my friends are interested in vegan cooking now I've been sharing my delights! I'd love to give one of them a cookbook (as well as keep one for myself of course!). Well, we don't have thanksgiving over here in England but I think I would like to make a chocolate tart with a gingerbread crust..
ReplyDeleteThat sounds yummy and a little seasonal :)
My favourite custard pie in a dessert bowl: black-forest cherry dessert. :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate thanksgiving here... But I wouldn't say no to a pecan pie!
ReplyDeleteMy mom's pecan pie. I'm going home for Thanksgiving this year, and I'm planning on stealing a bunch of her recipes and veganizing them. This is definitely on my list.`
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, you can never go wrong with vegan tiramisu. But then we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, at least not the same way. If you want something more seasonal, I'd say cranberry trifle or gingerbread apple cake. :)
ReplyDeleteBlack Bottom Cupcakes (with chocolate chips in the cream cheese) were always a treat in my family on Thanksgiving. Now I veganize them and everyone loves them!
ReplyDeleteI'm Canadian so I already did Thanksgiving. This year I made the Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar pumpkin brownies! They didn't set properly unfortuantely (too hard to find tinned pumpkin in the UK so had to used jarred stuff that had the same consistency as baby food) but they were still great all goey served with ice cream. Everyone loved them! New favourite!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm back in the states for Thanksgiving with my family, I'd have to say it's all about the pies. That's mainly because I don't eat them so much here in the UK, so it's a novelty! mmm Pumpkin.
ReplyDeletePumpkin roll, yum yum!!
ReplyDeleteIf it has to be traditional, then it has to be pumpkin pie. But my favorite dessert that I have eaten on thanksgiving had to be peanut butter cheesecake with a pretzel crust. It was a PITA to make, but sooooo worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteI like Your Vegan Mom's Chocolate Pecan Pie (http://www.yourveganmom.com/your_vegan_mom/2009/12/chocolate-pecan-pie.html) ! I add peanut butter to it, yummm!
ReplyDeleteI did a Thanksgiving test-run of a stuffed delicata squash, and really loved it... Hopefully I'll post the recipe soon!
ReplyDeleteBourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake - thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pumpkin cheesecake, too, but the best thing I ever made was a caramel apple pie! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteChocolate mousse caramel apple pie and Pumpkin Pecan Cranberry Cheesecake... Yeah, those sound awesome! :D
ReplyDeletePomegranate or pumpkin cheesecake!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be making pumpkin cheesecake!
ReplyDeleteVegan pecan pie because that has always been my favorite, made with maple syrup. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI love http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/11/double-layer-pumpkin-cheesecake.html/comment-page-1#comment-7891
ReplyDeleteSooo good!
Normally I would say Pumpkin Pie..but I just discovered these Pumpkin Pie Brownie Cupcakes on the Oh She Glows blog, and I am so making those for Thanksgiving dessert! NOM!
ReplyDeletevegan sweet potato casserole and vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Those are the two I'm making this year. They are delish!
ReplyDeleteWell, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Estonia. But I think I'd love pumpkin pie because I love everything made of pumpkin. :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate Cake
ReplyDeleteThanks for having a giveaway! Awesome! My favorite dessert is a vegan apple and cranberry pie. Mmm!
ReplyDeleteBanana Pudding!
ReplyDeleteTypically I say that my favorite is pecan pie, but this year I am looking forward to making gingerbread with pumpkin spice icing from Oh She Glows. I've already made it twice since she posted it and am addicted! I keep thinking about it! The frosting is so simple, yet so tasty! I may make it into a roll, just to be different for T-giving.
ReplyDeleteCan't beat warm apple pie!
ReplyDeleteI made my pumpkin brownie tarts for Canadian Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteGreen Bean Casserole is where it's at! :)
ReplyDeleteI adore the Pumpkin Crumb Cake with the Pecan Streusel.
ReplyDeleteWe always do a fruit crisp here. Our Thanksgiving is already over but this year we did apple cranberry, it was delish!
ReplyDeletePecan Pumpkin Pie...mmmm.
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin pie, duh, but I always make something with cranberries. Last year I made a cranberry upside down cake, it was so pretty! Cranberry bundt cake has been made as well.
ReplyDeleteBrandied Fig Cookies
ReplyDeleteYes, I know I'm dull, but Pumpkin Pie. Good, old fashioned, vegan pumpkin pie. Based on Bryanna Clark Grogan's recipe found here: http://veganconnection.com/recipes/pumpkin_pie.htm It's a winner every time!!
ReplyDeleteFudge! My grandmother made the best fudge...
ReplyDeleteChocolate is great but peanut butter is better.
I'm going to have to go with gingerbread cupcakes smothered in pumpkin icing. sooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteA relatively new Thanksgiving favorite of mine is the Pioneer Woman's Mashed Potatoes recipe. It can easily be veganized. It allows you to make your mashed potatoes the day before and free up more space/time in your kitchen on Thanksgiving day.
ReplyDeletei'm a fan of good ol' pecan pie. i never eat it any other time of the year, so it's a treat. this year, however, i'm being tempted into making apple pie with pecan crust. decisions, decisions!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of cranberry desserts. I once made a cranberry=apple upside down cake that was a big hit.
ReplyDeleteI really just subbed out the pineapple for cranberries and apples in a basic pineapple upside down cake.
Pecan Pie all the way.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the pumpkin cheesecake from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen. Last year my family demanded I make another after they polished off the first one I made.
ReplyDeleteMy mom's sweet potato pie. It is sweetened with only real maple syrup and out of this world!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to win the 500 Vegan Recipes!
pumpkin roll AND apples and walnuts rolled in phyllo dough....
ReplyDeleteUsually I would go with the standard pumpkin pie, but we have a friend who doesn't like pumpkin, so I've done cranberry-spice bundt cake in the past, and am thinking about the Gingerbread Apple Pie from Vegan With a Vengeance this year.
ReplyDeleteApple pie.. .any style!
ReplyDeleteMy dad's side of the family is Italian so I like to make cannoli's filled with pumpkin cream cheese (homemade, cashew-based cheese) and drizzle it with (more homemade) caramel sauce. walnuts for garnish!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletePumpkin pie here too. But I usually use carrots because I seldom see pumpkins here. Something I would like to try is chocolate pumpkin squares.
ReplyDeleteApple crisp! Healthier than pie, and easier, too. I like the recipe in the Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.
ReplyDeletePecan pie! I really need to veganize my grandma's recipe or to make up my own because I won't go without pecan pie again this year... or maybe I could follow the one in 500 Vegan Recipes - there must be a recipe for pecan pie in there, right? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering a chance at winning the book! I'd love to add it to my bookshelf, and I already know who'd be blessed with the second copy.
Pumpkin pie or pecan pie. They are traditional but are a most have.
ReplyDeleteno thanksgiving is complete without pumpkin pie... i know it's so basic but its so delicious and my favorite kind of pie!
ReplyDeletenataliejso@gmail.com
Apple crisp with whipped coconut milk topping.
ReplyDeleteApple pie all the way. Or an apple crumble cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteBerry crumble =]
ReplyDeleteApple pie with home-made crust, filling, and lattice top. A slice topped with some coconut milk ice cream is perfection!
ReplyDeleteThere is a really great dish in the November VegNews magazine from about 2 years ago. It was some sort of thing in a crust ... I'm not at home to find the title, but it's delicious. I've made it every year since I got the recipe.
ReplyDeletepumpkin cheezecake!
ReplyDeleteI am not a big dessert eater but something I made with matzo crackers and chocolate a while back was said to be dessert crack by my daughter!
ReplyDeleteBanana bread with dark chocolate chunks and cashew cream. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMy personal fave for Thanksgiving is apple pie, but I will also cave a make pumpkin pie brownies for the pumpkin lovers in my family. (I am not one!)
ReplyDeletePecan pie, though pumpkin trifle (pumpkin pudding, whipped cream, & ginger snaps) comes in a close second!
ReplyDeleteHmm, well, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia, but can I make my ideal dessert up? A pecan ice with maple syrup in the filling and salted pecans on top :)
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is my excuse to make one of my faves, pumpkin pie...mmmm, pumpkin pie with the perfect flaky crust! And when I want something a little different...chocolate pumpkin pie, with same perfect flaky crust. Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteAmazing apple dumplings that my mother makes. It is an old french recipe that encases cut apples in an amazing dough then sticky sauce is poured on top. She veganized it years ago for me!
ReplyDeleteDerby Pie - essentially a sinful pecan pie with loads of chocolate chunks.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go with Tal Ronnen's recipe for Oven Roasted Banana Cheesecake with Spiced Pecan Crust and Maple Rum Sauce that got posted over on Vegansaurus. I mean, have you SEEN that thing?!? It's insane!
ReplyDeleteCranberry sauce -- for real!! I know its not traditionally a dessert, but it's dessert for me!
ReplyDeletePumpkin gnocchi!
ReplyDeletemy favorite thanksgiving dessert is peanut butter-choc creme pie (made with silken tofu of course!)
ReplyDeletei don't often turn away any vegan dessert though!
my favorite dessert for thanksgiving is definitely pecan pie!
ReplyDeleteyumyum
i gotta have my pumpkin pie on thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletecan my favorite dessert be more mashed potatoes? If not, then my next thanksgiving love is pumpkin cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteCranberry-toffee cake is probably my favorite; but I also love everything with apples in it. :)
ReplyDeleteSalted butter caramel tart... which I usally eat the day after, since I'm always too full to eat sweets after the thanksgiving meal!
ReplyDeletePumpkin bread pudding! Yum :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite Thanksgiving dessert, but my sister made a trifle one year that was awesome. Recreating a trifle vegan-style sounds like it could be a fun and worthwhile adventure!
ReplyDeletevegan pumpkin coffee cake with extra streusel and glaze :oP so good...
ReplyDeleteWe make a simple but amazing vegan chocolate cake with a chocolate glaze that is so, so good and will be taking to our vegan Thanksgiving potluck this year...
ReplyDeletePumpkin Chocolate Pie! Seriously awesome.
ReplyDeleteI call this a twist on the traditional - dark chocolate pecan pie! YUMMO!
ReplyDeletePumpkin anything-- I usually make a pie with graham cracker crust. And gingerbread cupcakes from PPK, with creamcheeze frosting. Those are always a hit.
ReplyDeletepumpkin cheesecake!
ReplyDeletepumpkin pie
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of apple crisp...SO good!
ReplyDeleteCourtney
This is totally boring and unimaginative, but apple pie. Preferable with vanilla So Delicious.
ReplyDeleteI don't do thanksgiving, but i'm gonna say chocolate cherry cheesecake, CHYEAH! yummy!
ReplyDeleteI like to make a pumpkin pie with a pecan pie topping...yum
ReplyDeleteSweet Potato Pie
ReplyDeleteI love Bryanna's pumpkin pie, but this year I'm supplementing with the tiramisu from Urban Vegan and a big box of Bluestocking BonBons. We're having about 15 people over, and desserts go quickly!
ReplyDeleteRaw vegan pumpkin pie tartletts!
ReplyDeleteI've got to say my favorite thanksgiving desert is pumpkin pie, mmmmm. It's so original, but I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be oh-so-original here and say pumpkin cheezecake. Specifically FFV's pumpkin cheezecake. Apparently I'm not the only one. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing 500 Vegan Recipes forever!
I like to keep it simple with good ol' pumpkin pie. I only wish I could remember which recipe I used last year that turned out phenomenal (as opposed to the one 2 years ago which was a giant FAIL).
ReplyDeleteI made a pear pie (along with the traditional pumpkin) this year. I posted my recipe here: http://amachinations.mooo.com/2010/11/08/vegan-mofo-mondays .
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding inspiration!
raw pumpkin cheesecake is where it's at @_@
ReplyDeletecoconut cream pie!
