So, the Thanksgiving Dessert Bonanza was quite a success.

I managed to churn out 3 desserts in 3 days (alright alright, technically 4…maybe I fail after all?) and didn’t completely screw up any of them (meaning, I didn’t have to re-bake any baking monstrosities).  I think I get a pat on the back.

Bonanza Desserts

As evidenced by above jazz hands, my brother and his girlfriend approved of these desserts.

When it comes right down to it, I think of the 3 desserts the pumpkin cream pie probably won as my favorite.  My pecan bars need a little work; they’re good, but a little too chewy for my taste.  When I make them again I’ll be taking them out of the oven earlier.  The chocolate pudding cake was delicious, but it’s really rich.  I thought that the pudding would be lighter and less dense to even out the richness of the cake, but no…no it wasn’t.  I don’t think I messed up the recipe; I think that’s just what the bakers intended.

The pumpkin cream pie had the right amount of sweetness and lightness to provide and satisfying dessert experience without overwhelming you (assuming you didn’t take too big of a slice).  This was so good, I actually made a speed-pie the next morning to send with to boyfriend’s family, and I hear they enjoyed it a lot too.

This percentage of the pie looks like Pac Man…

Anyway, I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and you gave many thanks for, at the very least, your delicious desserts.
