Hi guys,
Looking for suggestions for an interesting dessert for my families
Thanksgiving dinner. Something for 8 or so people. I might even make
two different yummy dishes, just so everyone has a choice. I'm thinking
maybe a cheesecake.... and what? I'd love to hear your favorites
Thanks,

How about a "Mystery Pecan Pie"? It's a cross between a cheesecake & pecan
pie - never fails to get rave reviews!!

Mystery Pecan Pie

1 pkg pie crusts (15 oz) 2 tsp. vanilla, divided
8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/4 tsp. salt
4 large eggs, divided 1 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup sugar, divided 1 cup light corn syrup

Unfold & stack 2 pie crusts; gently roll or press together. Fit into a 9
inch pie plate; fold edges under & crimp. Beat cream cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 cup
sugar, 1 tsp vanilla & salt at medium speed with electric mixer until
smooth. Pour into pie crust & sprinkle with pecans. Stir together corn
syrup, remaining eggs, sugar & vanilla. Pour over pecans. Bake @ 350 degrees
for 50 - 55 minutes or until set.

Enjoy! Joy

This is a great recipe from Southern Living Magazine
and perfect for Thanksgiving. Rusty

Cheesecake - Pumpkin - Southern Living

2 cups crushed gingersnaps (about 40 cookies)
1/4 cup brown sugar -- divided
1/4 cup butter or margarine -- melted
3 packages (8-ounce) cream cheese -- softened
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
15 ounces can pumpkin
14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2 cups sour cream

Combine crumbs, 3 tbsps brown sugar and butter. Press on bottom of a 9"
springform pan. Set aside. Beat cream cheese and flour at medium speed
with an electric mixer until creamy. Add pumpkin and next 5 ingredients.
Pour into prepared crust. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Reduce oven
temperature to 225°, and bake 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack 5 minutes.
Combine sour cream and remaining 1 tbsp brown sugar; spread over
cheesecake. Bake 5 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack 30 minutes; cover
and chill overnight.
To reduce fat and calories, substitute reduced-fat cream cheese, light
sour cream, low-fat sweetened condensed milk, and 3/4 cup egg substitute
for the eggs.

My note - Made this Nov. 2002 - everyone loved it!!!!

My family traditionally had pumpkin pie and lemon meringue pie to choose
from.

You want to make it interesting.. how about a pumpkin cheesecake? or go
southern and do a pecan pie ( or go crazy and do a chocolate pecan pie and
invite ME!)...

Tradition dictates a pumpkin pie, but it is always good to have an
alternative for those poor people who do not appreciate it.

TRY THE TAPIOCA PUDDING RECIPE I POSTED NOT AN HOUR AGO.

Perhaps add some rum and Coco Lopez... serve topped with real whipped cream and
dusted with cinnamon.

granules added to the batter)
Crepes

I read your question and thought, pumpkin pie would be traditional, but
the question was for something interesting; pumpkin cheesecake would be
perfect. Then I read the other responses and see that others have made
the same suggestion. That's 3 votes now for pumpkin cheesecake.

Great, Helen! Trifle was what I was going to suggest. Here's a favorite,
tint:


* Exported from MasterCook *

English Trifle

1 package lady fingers -- separated
raspberry jam
1/4 cup sherry
3 ounce package raspberry Jell-O
1 small can crushed pineapple
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 package Jell-O French Vanilla pudding
whipped cream or fat-free whipped topping

Separate the lady fingers and spread with raspberry jam. Line the bottom
and sides of a glass dish. Sprinkle with sherry.

Prepare raspberry Jell-O, cool and pour over the lady fingers. Allow to
set.

Spread with the crushed pineapple; sprinkle with slivered almonds (if
desired).

Prepare the Jell-O French vanilla pudding (I prefer the cooked variety);
cover surface with plastic wrap and allow to cool. Spread over the fruit.

Top with whipped cream or fat-free whipped topping.
NOTES : Can be doubled, in a tall trifle dish.

Just wondering, is this a typically English ingredient? Not Devon
Custard or Bird's thingie?

My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important

now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and
enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance
has come an era of peace in the Pacific.

How about modifying a flan recipe by using caramelizing maple syrup for the
coating inside the baking dish.

No, Michel, it's usually made with Bird's custard powder or genuine custard
sauce (thick). However, it's hard to find Bird's custard and I'm getting
lazier in my advancing years! Pretty good substitute, though. BTW, I'm
intrigued by your quote from Bush's speech in Tokyo - is that REALLY what he
said??
