These Thanksgiving desserts are an excellent way to put a firmly festive exclamation point at the end of Thanksgiving dinner. While the highlight of Thanksgiving dinner is undoubtedly the turkey, it's important to end your meal with a bang whilst also having enough sweet delights to enjoy over the Thanksgiving season.
Some of the Thanksgiving desserts you can call upon are fairly traditional and include the usual festival trappings of pumpkin spice, gourd essence and coconut flakes. However you can also infuse festive goodness into popcorn by infusing it with a bit of caramel. If that isn't up your alley, consider a pumpkin waffle to start your day off and warm your stomach up for the big turkey dinner.
