Did anyone try any good desserts that they have not had before over thanksgiving, and do you have the recipe?

Answer 1

a friend of ours made a dessert called pumpkin crisp. She was going to give us the recipe but we left without getting it. I found a couple recipes that seem to be close to what we ate...the first one comes close but she added whipped topping on top after it cooled.

PUMPKIN CRISP

1 16oz can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 15oz can condensed milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 cake mix (lemon or yellow)
1 cup chopped nuts
2 sticks (1/2 pound) melted butter

DIRECTIONS;
Mix pumpkin, eggs, condensed milk,
sugar and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.

Pour in a greased 9x13 pan

Sprinkle dry cake mix over pumpkin mixture

Sprinkle nuts

Drizzle butter

Bake in a preheated 350 oven
for approximately one hour.

here is the other recipe that I found but it does not call for nuts and this one I ate had nuts in it:

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup white sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set aside 1 cup cake mix for the topping. Combine remaining cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter or margarine. Pat into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, 2 eggs, spices, 1/2 cup sugar, and milk. Pour pumpkin mixture over the cake mix crust.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup cake mix and 3/4 cup sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup softened butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle mixture on top of pumpkin mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 minutes.

Answer 2

Pumpkin cheesecake. It was easy and delicious. the only alteration to the recipe I made was gingerbread graham crackers rather than regular graham crackers, and I added some ground up pecans to the graham crackers as well. I really think it made a difference in the recipe.

Crust:
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick melted salted butter
Filling:
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (15-ounce) can pureed pumpkin
3 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For crust:
In medium bowl, combine crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Add melted butter. Press down flat into a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

For filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, sugar and the spices. Add flour and vanilla. Beat together until well combined.

Pour into crust. Spread out evenly and place oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Answer 3

this is something i tried and it was so good the family asked me to make it again for christmas. for the candy pieces, I simply threw a few Butterfinger candy bars in the blender for a few seconds. I got some nice chunky pieces, and powdery Butterfinger flakes that really helped to carry the flavor throughout the pie. It looked nice sprinkled on top of the pie, too

5 Minute Candy Bar Pie

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups cold milk
2 (3.9 ounce) packages JELL-O Chocolate Flavor or Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling Mix

4 (1.5 ounce) bars chocolate candy, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, divided
1 ready-to-use chocolate flavor crumb crust (6 oz. or 9 inch)

DIRECTIONS
Beat milk, pudding mixes and 1/2 of the whipped topping in medium bowl with wire whisk 1 minute. (Mixture will be thick.) Reserve 1/4 cup of the candy bar pieces; stir remaining pieces into pudding mixture. Spoon into crust.

Answer 5

Not really a dessert, but a jello. Take one small box of orange jello. 1 small can of crushed pineapple, 1 small can of mandarin oranges one container (16 oz?) cottage cheese. Drain pineapple and oranges. Mix all ingredients except jello, then mix in jello, nothing else, no water or anything. Let set overnight in refrigerator. Its great!
