50 Pumpkin Desserts Perfect for Your Thanksgiving Feast

There’s no denying the ubiquity of pumpkin (especially pumpkin spice) during the fall—and Thanksgiving dinner is no exception. Is your holiday feast even complete if you don’t have a slice of pumpkin pie?! That got us thinking about all the other ways to use pumpkin, especially in desserts. Pumpkin roll, pumpkin bread, pie-inspired cupcakes, pumpkin-ified chocolate chip cookies: you really can’t go wrong when this beloved fall flavor is involved. One of our favorite ways to let pumpkin grace our holiday tables? A Thanksgiving cheesecake like this one. With swirls of pumpkin filling, caramel and a gingersnap crust, this autumnal cheesecake is a true delight. The fun bullseye pattern? Simply whip up a classic cheesecake batter and then add pumpkin and warm spices to half the batch. It couldn’t be easier!

Forget the fuss of pie dough! This one-pan dessert has the creamy pumpkin filling you love and a crunchy topping made with spice cake mix, graham crackers and pecans. It feeds a crowd, and there's almost no clean up!

The filling for this classic, full-flavor pumpkin pie has an ultralight and fluffy texture, thanks to the generous doses of sugar and cream.
