How to choose Thanksgiving Desserts

About everyone looks forward to the desserts that are served after enjoying a Thanksgiving meal. It could be that 'sweet balance to the savory meal' or just a 'what the heck moment' that gets us there.

Here are some tips that can help you choose the desserts that can follow your next Thanksgiving meal.

• Offer more than one dessert genre, such as a pie and a cake, to give folks a choice.
• When selecting what to serve, make sure that everything is different from one another as far as texture and flavor goes for variety.
• Offer guests the opportunity to bring a dessert as long as is something different from what is already on the menu.
• Keep the desserts simple and prep what you can ahead of time in order to free up your time and your kitchen.
• Seasonal desserts, such as pumpkin or apple ones, are always a good bet for a fall Thanksgiving.
• Serve your desserts with optional toppings (whipped cream for example) and have beverages such as coffee, water, or milk close by.
• Lastly, think about individual portions that can be served to or go home with your guests.
