I want to serve pumpkin martinis for Thanksgiving party as the drink. So, I would like to have something other than pumpkin pie for dessert..Any ideas? Thanks!

I agree with the people who said sweet potato pie. I've NEVER liked pumpkin pie. Too many spices and I HATE nutmeg. Go with the sweet potato pie and serve a normal drink. No one wants their desert and their drink clashing in their mouth.

This always goes over big at our office parties. I've actually had people take this dessert before Turkey.
Death by Chocolate
It's a layered dessert served in a large bowl ( I think my wife calls it a Triful bowl or something like that)
It is
Brownies soked with Kalua
then Chocolate Mouse
then Whipped Cream
then crushed Heath (or Scores) bars
repeat
I use:
1 - Dunken Hines brownie mix for a 9x13 pan they give you two ways to make it use the cake like instructions. (you want it to soke up the Kalua).
3 - Nestles Dark Chocolate Instant Mouse Mix (make while brownies are in oven and refigerate)
1 - Quart Heavy whipping cream ( I like to add about 1 table spoon of powdered sugar)
8 - Heath (or Scores) candy bars. Put in freezer then crush.
1/2 cup of Kalua. Poke holes in the brownies after they cool and pour on the Kalua and let soke in.
Once everything is made just layer in big bowl as listed above.
Best made the night before event.
Enjoy

The most unusual Thanksgiving dessert I 've ever had is pear and gorgonzola pizza with walnuts. This one was bought frozen and doctored by adding extra gorgonzola and the walnuts, but you could make it easily using a ready-made pizza crust, gorganzola (or any blue cheese) and thinly sliced pears.
Also good is sorbet... nice and light after a big meal.
Or, you could go to an ice cream parlor (like Baskin Robbins or Cold Stone) and buy pints or quarts of a few flavors, some traditional and at least one unusual.

Any kind of fruit pies are good for Thanksgiving - especially Apple!
Sweet Potato pies are a nice alternative to pumpkin pies - they have the look, but a totally different taste.
You can also do a nice cookie plate, with sugar cookies cut in to holiday shapes.

Well apples are in season, so it is a great time to make a homemade apple pie. Plus it is a great alternative to just the same ol' pumpkin pie.
