Are you feeling cranberry, apple or pumpkin?

Mark Weinberg/The Book on Pie

If Thanksgiving is the Super Bowl of food holidays, pie is the starting quarterback. A T-Day menu is simply incomplete if it doesn’t end with a sweet dessert in flaky, buttery dough, like a pumpkin pie in cinnamon roll pie crust, a puff pastry apple galette or a sea salt butterscotch tart. Here are 60 of my favorite Thanksgiving pie recipes, from tried-and-true classics to unconventional treats that just might become an annual tradition.

These ideas are equal parts festive, seasonal and simple. Even newbie bakers can find plenty that they’ll master on the first try, and most of these pies can be made ahead to boot. Thanksgiving appetizers like stuffed mushrooms and mini cheese balls are perfect for keeping guests satisfied before the main meal. To keep guests happily snacking before the main meal, set out some delicious finger foods that are as easy to enjoy as they are to make. Plus, if you want to keep guests entertained from the start, a few fancy appetizers can make the meal feel extra special. That means you’ll have one less thing to do on the day of the big feast (you’re already busy enough with the turkey and sides, no?).

71 Easy Fall Desserts That Make the Most of Baking Season


1. Maple Pecan Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 30 minutes (plus chilling)
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, make ahead, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 12

Using maple syrup instead of corn syrup makes the filling flavorful and less cloying. "There are a few keys to nailing the gooey-not-gloppy texture," writes former PureWow senior food editor Katherine Gillen. "One, I add a tablespoon of flour to the custard, which helps it thicken and set properly in the oven. Two, I pull it from the oven at the opportune moment: It should be totally set around the edges, but still slightly jiggly in the center."

2. Mini Pumpkin Pies

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 25 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, make ahead, kid-friendly
  • Serves: 12

This way, everyone gets a personal Thanksgiving pie (and no one has to fight over the last slice). "I recommend making a double batch of your favorite crust a day ahead and chilling it in the freezer," Gillen writes, "but I know holidays are a time to pull out your favorite cooking shortcuts, so feel free to use store-bought dough instead."

3. Cinnamon Meringue Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 50 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, make ahead, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 12

Nothing is stopping you from making this warm-spiced seasonal dessert. "The filling is a type of custard known as sugar pie," explains recipe developer Erin McDowell. "Since it’s thickened with flour instead of eggs, it's almost impossible for the surface to crack when you bake it. But you'll be covering it with swoops and swirls of meringue anyway."

4. Cranberry-Orange Pie

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, make ahead, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 8

Cranberries are high in pectin, so they make for a naturally thick, luscious filling. "A thin layer of silky cream cheese filling, spiked with orange zest, helps temper the tartness and round the whole thing out with a little creaminess," McDowell writes.

5. Vegan Dark Chocolate Ginger Tart

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 25 minutes (plus chilling)
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, make ahead, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 12

Presenting a vegan and gluten-free dessert, a Thanksgiving pie miracle. You may think it sounds *too* healthy, but trust me: With a fudge-like consistency and the irresistible combination of dark chocolate and sharp ginger, it's an easy home run.

6. Apple Tart with Soft-Pretzel Crust

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 15 minutes
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, kid-friendly, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 8 to 10

Save this one for Thanksgiving Eve, since it's a bit of a project. The results are unexpected and delish, though. "The tart takes a little extra effort, but results in a truly stunning combination of soft-pretzel crust topped with juicy sliced apples," McDowell says.

7. Peanut-Butter Freezer Pie

  • Time Commitment: 4 hours (includes chilling)
  • Why I Love It: no bake, make ahead, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 10

A godsend when your oven is in holiday overdrive? A no-bake Thanksgiving pie that's easy to make and sure to satisfy. Fill a press-in graham cracker crust with indulgent peanut butter cream, slather on whipped cream and roasted peanuts, then freeze. (I wouldn't blame you for adding shaved chocolate to the top, either.)

8. Mini Caramel Pecan Pies with Cinnamon Roll Pie Crust

  • Time Commitment: 45 minutes
  • Why I Love It: make ahead, kid-friendly, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 24

Want a dessert that looks impressive but is ready in less than an hour? Leave it to these caramel-topped cuties. Start with store-bought cinnamon roll dough instead of making your own to save even more time.

9. Fig Tarte Tatin

  • Time Commitment: 55 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, <10 ingredients, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 8

It all comes together in a single skillet, and the most work you’ll have to do is slice some figs to reach sticky-sweet heaven. How's that for easy? "Thanks to the figs, the caramel ends up getting this kind of pinky-rose hue from the fruit juices, which is so beautiful," McDowell adds.

10. Mini Cranberry Potpies

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 5 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 6 to 8

The only thing better than a slice of pie? Having a mini pie all to yourself—no sharing required. "The best part about a cranberry filling is that the fruit naturally thickens up a lot on its own, so you don't have to add a bunch of other ingredients, and you never have to worry about it being too runny or too juicy," McDowell raves.

11. Baklava Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, make ahead, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 10

Your favorite honey-drenched Greek dessert, minus the sticky fingers. It still has all the essentials: luscious honey, flaky phyllo dough, crunchy nuts and plenty of soul-soothing cinnamon.

12. Pumpkin Pie with Cinnamon Roll Pie Crust

  • Time Commitment: 3 hours and 30 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, make ahead
  • Serves: 10

This fun, kid-friendly combination is surprisingly easy to pull together. Once the crust is complete, you'll only need six more ingredients to pull off the silky, traditional pumpkin filling —a perfect pie to enjoy after filling up on turkey!

13. Mini Apple Tarts

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 35 minutes
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, <10 ingredients, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 6

The key to their uniform size is baking the tarts in mason jar lids. And since the recipe calls for store-bought pie crust and a flurry of pantry staples, they're a breeze to pull off (even last minute).

14. Gluten-Free Apple Rose Tart

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 25 minutes
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, crowd-pleaser, make ahead
  • Serves: 10

Totally Instagram-ready. The quick, easy press-in pecan crust leaves you with extra time to create the breathtaking apple-rose topper, which is easier to master than you realize. Lemon juice will keep them from turning brown before dessert is served.

15. Cherry Slab Pie

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 30 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 12

To feed a crowd—and stay sane while doing it—try this no-frills Thanksgiving pie recipe. Assemble the dough and juicy filling (try it with frozen cherries) on a rimmed baking sheet instead of the round pie plate and for a 13-by-9-inch fruit-filled pastry to slice and serve any way you like. (Read: with whipped cream.)

16. Easy Apple Galette

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 10

The best part about galettes? They're rustic and forgiving, leaving plenty of wiggle room when rolling out the dough. Simply pile the fruit in the middle of the store-bought dough and fold the edges over to hold it all together. Ta-da.

17. Sea Salt Butterscotch Tart

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, gluten free
  • Serves: 10

Whoa, this pie is plant-based and gluten-free? You'd better believe it. Perfect for a non-traditional Thanksgiving, it offers some tropical flair with coconut oil and coconut cream standing in for the usual butter and heavy cream. As for the crust, almond meal and sugar take over for AP flour.

  • Time Commitment: 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 10

Everyone will be positively psyched to dig into this skillet dessert. Place it on the kids' table and let them take their pick of chocolate chip, chocolate s'mores and snickerdoodle varieties. (Heck, it's Thanksgiving—let 'em have all three.)

19. Mini Mason Jar Apple Pies

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 10 minutes
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 6

How cute are the tiny crimped crusts? Use Honeycrisp, Pink Lady or Granny Smith apples, since they're sweet-tart and will keep their shape in the oven instead of turning to mush.

20. Ginger Cherry Pie

  • Time Commitment: 3 hours and 10 minutes
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, crowd-pleaser, make ahead
  • Serves: 10

Ground, crystallized and fresh ginger unite for a wintry pie that your guests will never forget. Be patient and take your time: The attention to detail on the crust (which contains cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cloves) will blow everyone away.

21. Brownie Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 10 minutes
  • Why I Love It: <10 ingredients, kid-friendly, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 10

Chocolate is an easy holiday win when you don't know what to serve. Plus, the only way to improve on a fudgy, decadent brownie is by putting it in a flaky pastry shell. Finish it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or caramel drizzle.

22. Biscuit Dough Pumpkin Hand Pies

  • Time Commitment: 45 minutes
  • Why I Love It: beginner-friendly, make ahead, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 16

Dessert for a crowd in under an hour? Genius. Leave it to canned biscuit dough to do most of the heavy lifting for you, along with canned pumpkin purée.

23. Puff Pastry Apple Galette

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour
  • Why I Love It: beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser, kid-friendly
  • Serves: 8

It’s almost too pretty to eat—almost. Frozen puff pastry makes assembly fuss-free. The most you'll need to do is blitz a simple frangipane (that's a buttery almond cream) in the food processor, top it with apples and bake to perfection.

24. Salted Chocolate Tart with Kettle Chip Crust

  • Time Commitment: 50 minutes
  • Why I Love It: beginner-friendly, <10 ingredients, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 10

The crust is made of crushed kettle chips for a treat that’s as easy to make as it is to eat. As for the toppings, it gets a vanilla-kissed, semisweet chocolate filling and two-ingredient chocolate ganache for good measure.

25. Apple-Cranberry Pie

  • Time Commitment: 7 hours (includes chilling)
  • Why I Love It: make ahead, crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 8 to 10

Fresh or frozen cranberries are fair game for the filling, so whatever you already have on hand for the feast will do just fine. Make an extra pie crust if you want to go the extra mile with braided edges or apple cut-outs. (I won't tell if you opt for store-bought instead.)

26. Banana Tarte Tatin

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour
  • Why I Love It: <10 ingredients, beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 6 to 8

Tarte tatins are traditionally made with apples. But I love breaking tradition (and eating caramelized bananas). Thanks to store-bought puff pastry, this Thanksgiving pie idea is only six ingredients away.

27. Neapolitan Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 25 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, make ahead
  • Serves: 8

I don't care if it's a holiday, birthday party or a housewarming—this tricolor stunner, layered with three varieties of creamy gelatin is welcome to any occasion. "Topped with plenty of whipped cream, this nostalgic dessert is especially adorable," McDowell asserts.

28. Blueberry Crumble Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, kid-friendly
  • Serves: 10

Instead of a traditional crust, this recipe uses a streusel-like topping to change things up. You can certainly substitute frozen blueberries for fresh since they aren't in season come November—your guests won't mind.

29. Caramel-Chocolate Macadamia Tart

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 50 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, kid-friendly
  • Serves: 12

You can go ahead and file this caramel-chocolate macadamia tart under gorgeous and secretly easy. "This is a very impressive-looking end result for what is very easy to make," McDowell says. "It's just a simple press-in crust and a generous layer of chopped macadamia nuts that are bound together with a very easy caramel custard."

30. No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 30 minutes
  • Why I Love It: no bake, make ahead, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 15

Perfect for a destination holiday (or pretending, anyway). Simply prepare the press-in crust, then whip up the rich coconut filling while the crust sets in the freezer. Once it fully cools, crown the tropical treat with whipped cream and toasted coconut.

31. Muffin-Tin Lemon Meringue Pie

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 6

Ring in citrus season right with these tiny sugar cookie crusts, brimming with creamy lemon custard and fluffy, marshmallow-y meringue. Use a piping bag and a kitchen torch for the topping to make it look like it came from a fancy bakery.

32. Caramel Apple Slab Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 25 minutes
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 24

No one ever said pie had to be round. Plus, you won't have to fuss with crimping the crust. Brown sugar-y crumb topping and homemade vanilla caramel takes this simple Thanksgiving pie recipe way over the top.

33. Lemon Pie with Blueberry Meringue

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 35 minutes
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, make ahead, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 10

The light-as-air topping gets its lilac hue from—surprise—freeze-dried blueberries. Once you add the cornstarch to the filling, make sure you boil it for a full 30 seconds. This will not only cook off any starchy flavors but also ensure your pie sets properly.

34. Sweet Potato Pie

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 20 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, make ahead
  • Serves: 8

Some people are Team Pumpkin, some are Team Sweet Potato. But there's plenty of room on your table for both, if you ask me. Top it with pie crust cut-outs, whipped cream or toasted mini marshmallows.

35. Mini Vegan Pumpkin Pies

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 20 minutes
  • Why I Love It: vegan, crowd-pleaser, dairy free
  • Serves: 12

Perfect for guests with dietary restrictions. Be sure the coconut oil is scoopable, not liquid, when you make the crust. It's the key to getting the texture just right. Bonus points for finishing them with coconut whipped cream and candied pecans.

36. Cranberry Orange Custard Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 8

Autumnal to the max. (It'd also fit in great at Christmas dinner, but I digress.) Even better, the Thanksgiving pie recipe only requires nine ingredients to come together.

37. Banoffee Pie with Honeycomb

  • Time Commitment: 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, <10 ingredients, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 6 to 8

Meet this spin on a magical British dessert, made from bananas, cream and toffee on a crumbled cookie crust. Here, the crust is made with graham crackers and the filling leans on easy canned dulce de leche for its caramelly profile.

38. Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

  • Time Commitment: 4 hours and 20 minutes (includes freezing time)
  • Why I Love It: make ahead, beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 10

You can make this way ahead of time (like, weeks) and keep it the freezer until your guests show up. The recipe uses store-bought ice cream, so there's no churning required.

39. Maple Sweet Potato Pie

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 25 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, make ahead
  • Serves: 12 to 16

Move over pumpkin pie, and say hello to this sweet potato and maple masterpiece. If you're already making a sweet potato casserole or mash for the feast, double up so you can have the bulk of the pie filling done too.

40. Spiced Mexican Chocolate Coconut Pie

  • Time Commitment: 4 hours and 45 minutes (includes chilling)
  • Why I Love It: make ahead, crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 8

A little pinch of cayenne gives the chocolate pudding filling an unexpected—and totally delicious—flavor. The black bottom crust is also generously spiced and memorable, thanks to cinnamon-coated graham crackers and a layer of milk chocolate.

41. Skillet Peach Cobbler

  • Time Commitment: 50 minutes
  • Why I Love It: beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser, one pan
  • Serves: 6

The perfect use for all those frozen summer peaches you saved. This one-pan treat is topped with tender buttermilk-cornmeal biscuits, but I won't tell if you opt for the canned, store-bought kind to save time and effort.

42. Peppermint Chocolate Pie

  • Time Commitment: 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, crowd-pleaser, <10 ingredients
  • Serves: 8

You know how Santa always makes a cameo at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? This is kind of like that. I'm betting a chocolate crust (or even a store-bought Oreo crust) would pair deliciously with the fresh peppermint filling.

43. No-Bake Candy Bar Pie

  • Time Commitment: 15 minutes (plus chilling time)
  • Why I Love It: <10 ingredients, kid-friendly, crowd-pleaser, no bake
  • Serves: 8

This recipe combines two of my favorite candy bars (Butterfingers and Snickers) to create one seriously decadent dessert. Marshmallow cream and peanut butter keep the filling silky, nutty and picky kid-proof.

44. Mini Apricot Meringue Pies

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, crowd-pleaser, make ahead
  • Serves: 16

"These have a really easy press-in coconut shortbread cookie crust and stove-top filling," McDowell explains. "The fruit softens but still has texture. I particularly love the combination of apricot and coconut, and the meringue really brings it all together." If you don’t have mini tart pans or pie plates, you can use mason jar lids to make the crust.

45. Key Lime Pie with White Chocolate

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, make ahead, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 6 to 8

This recipe expertly combines sweet white chocolate and coconut with tart lime juice for a citrus season stunner your guests will crave until next Thanksgiving. Substitute regular limes to make the juicing process easier.

46. Breakfast Hand Pies

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 12

Why not take this classic sweet breakfast into dessert territory? I'm confident no one will mind scarfing down buttery dough, fruity jam and sprinkle-topped vanilla icing after Thanksgiving dinner.

47. Grandma’s Creamy Lemon Pie

  • Time Commitment: 25 minutes (plus chilling time)
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, <10 ingredients
  • Serves: 8

It comes together in a flash with ingredients you probably already have on hand. Sweetened condensed milk ensures a rich, silky filling that's impossible to mess up, while lime, lemon and boysenberry jam makes it delightfully bright and sour.

48. Blueberry Ice Cream Pie

  • Time Commitment: 25 minutes
  • Why I Love It: <30 minutes, beginner-friendly, <10 ingredients
  • Serves: 8

Come on, look how pretty it is—you know you want to make it. And I didn't even tell you that the crust is made from blueberry Cheerios yet (not to mention the filling is nothing but store-bought ice cream and jam).

49. Pear Thyme Tarts

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours
  • Why I Love It: gluten free, vegan, crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 8

Super classy and almost too beautiful to eat, these tarts are filled with an ingenious cashew-pear filling that's totally dairy free. The crust is also nutty, flavorful and gluten free, thanks to rolled oats, almond meal, brown rice flour and coconut.

50. Mini Strawberry Ice Cream Pies

  • Time Commitment: 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, beginner-friendly, <10 ingredients
  • Serves: 4

It's never too cold out for a fancy sundae, IMO. "Roasting your strawberries really concentrates their flavor, and in this easy recipe, you just layer them and put ice cream on top," McDowell says.

51. Butterscotch Pie

  • Time Commitment: 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, make ahead
  • Serves: 8

Brace yourself: Your house will never smell this good again. The secret to the incredibly nutty, complex filling is browning the butter before adding dark brown sugar to the mix.

52. Blueberry Cheesecake Pie

  • Time Commitment: 45 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, make ahead, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 10 to 12

There's always room for tangy cream cheese filling on my menu. I also love the mild, kid-friendly vanilla wafer crust, but you could easily substitute graham crackers, pretzels or even golden Oreos.

53. Vanilla Buttermilk Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 15 minutes
  • Why I Love It: beginner-friendly, <10 ingredients, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 8 to 10

This Southern classic proves that vanilla desserts can be far from boring. You can make this Thanksgiving pie up to four days in advance, if you want to get a head start on your holiday prep.

54. Molten Chocolate Crackle Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 50 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 8

Hazelnut liqueur, cocoa powder and instant coffee make each bite taste like a mocha latte. Personally, I'm most psyched for the boozy hazelnut whipped cream, which is kissed with maple syrup for some fall flair.

55. Strawberry Pie with Strawberry Crust

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 45 minutes
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly, special occasion-worthy
  • Serves: 8

Strawberries may be more of a summertime treat, but this pie is worth making year-round. The lattice crust might seem daunting, but it's deceptively simple. But if you need more practice or are pressed for time, skip it in favor of a double-crust pie instead—just be sure to cut a few slits in the top to vent the filling.

56. Bourbon Sweet Potato Pie

  • Time Commitment: 7 hours (includes cooling)
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 8

Complete with the most gorgeous toasted marshmallow meringue. Use vanilla bourbon in the silky, warm-spiced filling if you're feeling ambitious.

57. Chocolate Pumpkin Pecan Pie

  • Time Commitment: 2 hours and 25 minutes (includes setting time)
  • Why I Love It: crowd-pleaser, special occasion-worthy, make ahead
  • Serves: 8

Can't decide between these three crowd-pleasing flavors? Go ahead and use them all. Semisweet or dark chocolate will offer just enough bitterness to the decadent pecan layer.

58. Caramel Pie

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 40 minutes
  • Why I Love It: kid-friendly, make ahead, crowd-pleaser
  • Serves: 8

BRB, diving face first into the buttery, sweet filling. Use store-bought pie crust to save time, and keep the leftovers (if there are any) in the fridge for up to four days.

59. Chai Pumpkin Pie with Maple Whipped Cream

  • Time Commitment: 1 hour and 45 minutes
  • Why I Love It: special occasion-worthy, crowd-pleaser, beginner-friendly
  • Serves: 8

My two favorite fall lattes collide for one decidedly seasonal dessert. Make a double batch of the maple whipped cream to use on mulled apple cider, hot chocolate or coffee.

60. Pretzel Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie

  • Time Commitment: 5 hours and 45 minutes (includes cooling time)
  • Why I Love It: beginner-friendly, crowd-pleaser, <10 ingredients
  • Serves: 8

Believe it or not, this creamy number is totally vegan, thanks to canned coconut cream, dairy-free chocolate, organic sugar and plant-based butter. Your guests won't be able to tell, though.
