Beyond Pie: Unique Thanksgiving Dessert Ideas

We love pumpkin pie as much as anyone, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise your guests with something unexpected.

Our Thanksgiving Favorites

Pumpkin Pepita Tea Cake with Whipped Cream

All the flavors of the season in an elegant, easy-to-serve format. No pie server required!

Brown Sugared Pecans

Set out bowls of these with after-dinner coffee. They’re impossible to stop eating.

Gingersnaps

Warm spiced cookies—great for dunking in tea or coffee.

Creating a Dessert Bar

Instead of one big pie, create a grazing-style dessert bar. Include:

  • An assortment of shortbread cookies
  • Small slices of tea cake
  • Candied nuts in pretty bowls
  • Fresh fruits and cheese

Make-Ahead Tips

Order your Walker & William treats in advance. Our products keep frozen for up to 3 months, so you can cross dessert off your list early.
