Is there anything more impressive (or loved by all) than a gorgeous cheesecake? Whether you serve up something simple like the best New York-Style cheesecake, swirl it with chocolate or top it off with a layer of fruit compote, there’s no beating a rich, creamy slice of cheesecake—even on Turkey Day! So, no matter what you’re planning to include in your Thanksgiving dessert spread, we recommend letting a cheesecake take center stage—particularly one of these versions that features special add-ins and plenty of fall flavors. You can’t go wrong with anything in this roundup but this dessert, topped with a gooey pecan topping is a must. It’s reminiscent of another Thanksgiving favorite: pecan pie. Best of all, you can make it in advance. Bake the cheesecake, wrap it and refrigerate it for up to two days. Do the same with the caramel sauce. When you’re ready to top the cake, reheat the sauce and let gravity do its thing: Mound the sauce in the center, then let it naturally ooze to the edge.
