We can all agree that Thanksgiving is the best holiday ever. Problem is: you aren’t that wild about pie. It doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy dessert after feeling so stuffed that you need to unbutton your jeans. Here are six dessert recipes you’ll be thankful for!

1. No Bake Caramel Apple Cheesecake Trifles

So easy to put together and the best part is you don’t have to share your mini trifle with ANYONE. Get the recipe here.

2. Pumpkin Cookie Dough Dip

We all know the best part of making cookies is licking the cookie dough. Dip teddy grahams, ginger snap cookies, or graham crackers in this seriously delicious dip! Get the recipe here

3. Apple Dumpling Monkey Bread

If this isn’t what heaven looks like on a platter, I don’t know what does. Get the recipe here.

4. Caramel Pecan Carrot Cupcakes

Carrots=vegetables. That means carrot cake cupcakes= vegetables. Therefore, eating these cupcakes=not feeling guilty. Get the recipe here.

5. Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

I’m thankful on this Thanksgiving that a recipe for delicious fudgy brownies with a creamy cheesecake pumpkin swirl exists in this world and you should be too. Get the recipe here.

6. Chocolate Cranberry Torte

Just LOOK AT THAT CHOCOLATE GLAZE ON TOP. My typical portion size: the slice in the picture that accounts for about 2/3 of the torte…obviously. Get the recipe here.
