Best Thanksgiving Desserts
The Ultimate Pecan Pie
Mix together the flour, butter, and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry blender or two knives and cut in butter until mixture becomes similar to coarse crumbs with some larger lumps.
Put 2 tablespoons ice water evenly over mixture and gently stir with a fork until everything is fused together. To test the dough, squeeze some dough together to make a small ball. Add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time and test again if the dough does not hold together.
Form the dough into a ball (be cautious not to overwork the dough) and press it flat into a disc.
Use a plastic wrap to wrap the disc tightly and chill or refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C).
Lightly spread some flour on a flat surface and with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the chilled pie crust dough into a 12-inch circle. Center and fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate trimming the dough to a 1-inch overhang and fold it over to form a rim. Pinch the rim with your fingers to create a crimped edge. You can also use a fork to press down on the rim forming an edge. Then lightly puncture the bottom all over with a fork (helps to release the air during baking). Chill the pie plate in the refrigerator.
Whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs, corn syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until combined. Put and mix in the pecans and carefully pour pie filling into chilled pie crust.
Bake the prepared pie for 40 to 50 minutes until the top of the pie becomes golden and the filling has set (it should slightly jiggle when you shake the pie dish gently). After 20 minutes of baking, cover the pie loosely with foil to prevent the crust from excessive browning.
Allow the pie to cool completely for several hours then serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream.

Thanksgiving Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Lubricate the inside of a Bundt cake pan with baking spray.
For about 3 minutes, cream the butter and brown sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment fitted (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer).
Just one at a time, add vanilla extract and eggs, scraping down the sides between additions.
By whisking, combine pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Add half of the flour mixture to the butter and sugar that was prepared, then mix until flour is completely fused together. Add Greek yoghurt and mix to combine. Then add remaining flour, scraping down sides after adding.
Pour mixture into prepared Bundt cake pan, then gently smooth the top with the back of a spatula.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until you see that the cake is golden brown on the outside and springs back a little when you try to push on it.
Rest and let cool in pan for at least 15 minutes, then overturn onto a wire rack to cool completely before adding glaze.
Combine all needed ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl, then whisk until you have a smooth consistency. Add water at about 1 teaspoon at a time, and whisk until desired thickness is attained.
Drizzle on top of cooled cake.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Dissolve yeast and sugar in milk in a large bowl and stir to blend together. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. This will allow the yeast to activate.
Mix in together the pumpkin puree, softened butter, flour, salt and egg. Stir thoroughly with a spatula until no dry flour particles are visible. Make sure to scrape off any remaining flour from the sides of the bowl.
Move the dough onto a clean and dry surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it turns into a soft and smooth dough ball. The dough becomes much easier to knead by hand because of its high fat content.
Move the dough back into the mixing bowl
Using a brush, lightly grease the dough ball with vegetable oil and cover with a lid or a plastic cover.
Allow the dough to rise at room temperature about an hour or until it doubles in size. It is best to cover the dough with oil to avoid losing moisture and drying out.
Move the dough on a floured surface and roll the dough to a rectangle of about 20x12 inches wide using a rolling pin. Lightly spread softened butter uniformly over the rolled dough.
Whisk and blend together brown sugar, ground cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice mixture in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture equally over the top of the butter.
Tightly roll up the dough into a log and firmly pinch the end edges to seal.
Cut the roll into nine (9) equal pieces using a knife or bench scraper, about 2 inches wide each. Place the rolls flat on their side into a greased 8x8 inch pan.
Cover and seal the pan with plastic wrap and let it rise (second rise) for an hour or until the rolls double in size.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven at 350 F and bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Let it cool and rest for 10 minutes.
Mix together the milk, cream cheese, honey and confectioners' sugar in a bowl and mix well with a handheld mixer, or a whisk, until the mixture becomes smooth.
Carefully drizzle the cream cheese icing over cinnamon rolls.
Serve.
1. In sealing or covering the dough for its second rise, you may also use a large Ziploc bag. Put the whole 8x8 inch pan inside.
2. You may opt to use a round pan instead of a square pan. This will give your set of rolls a different look
3. If you don’t intend to bake the rolls right away, you may leave it in the refrigerator overnight.

Caramel Apple Fall Cheesecake
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Mix and stir together graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a large bowl while gradually pouring in the melted butter.
Stir continually until mixed.
Press flat the crumbs tightly into an 8-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes. The crust should be allowed to cool and rest for at least an hour before placing the filling.
Using a hand mixer, mix together the cream cheese, yoghurt, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well blended.
Add 1 egg at a time and beat just until mixed together.
Continue and repeat this step until all eggs are blended (NOTE: Overmixing will result in cracking during baking).
Transfer the filling into the cooled crust and smooth out the top surface.
Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with aluminium foil to prevent any leaks and place the pan in a large baking dish. Fill the baking dish with 1 inch of boiling water.
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 1 hour in the boiling water bath (the purpose for this is to prevent sudden temperature drop which might result in cracking).
Turn off the heat after an hour and leave the cheesecake inside the oven for another hour. The cheesecake will continue to bake during this time due to stored heat inside the oven and the boiling water.
Carefully remove the pan out of the oven and loosen the cheesecake from the sides of the pan using a paring (NOTE: a non-metal knife would be better to protect your pan from any scratches)
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and move to the refrigerator to leave overnight.
Prepare the caramel apple topping. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sliced apples and stir gently until they are coated with melted butter. Stir in brown sugar and mix until dissolved. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until apples are tender. (NOTE: stirring occasionally will make a better consistency)
Adding toppings to your cheesecake will enhance its appearance. Drizzle desired caramel sauce on top of your cheesecake. Arrange the sliced apples in a way that you desire. It can be like a floral-type or anything that will make it look very attractive.
Sprinkle a handful of sliced almonds around the outer edge of the cake. You may also use pecans. To make your cake look lively, you may also put cherries, especially in the center.

Swiss Caramel Walnut Tart
Add flour, sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add lemon rind by using the Victorinox zester and mix together. Slice your cold butter with a Victorinox Butter & Cheese Knife and work it in the mix to form a crumbly dough. Add one egg and knead until a consistent dough is formed. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In a saucepan, bring sugar, honey and a dash of water to a boil whilst stirring. Keep boiling until caramelised to a light brown colour. Heat the cream and add to the caramel whilst stirring swiftly.
Add walnuts to your saucepan and stir well until the mix forms a thickness. Leave to simmer until it reaches a dark golden consistency, keep stirring occasionally. Take off heat and leave to cool.
Take ⅔ of your chilled dough and place in a greased springform. Cover the base and sides (2-3cm high) with dough using a Victorinox Spatula. Pour in the cooled filling and spread evenly.
Roll the remaining dough to form the lid for the dish. Carefully place the circular dough on top of the filling. Join the edges well by pressing the circumference with a Victorinox Cake Fork. Whisk the last egg yolk and brush lightly on top.
Place in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 50-60 mins. When the tart is cooked, place in the fridge to completely cool. Once the filling has chilled, dislodge the tart from the tin with help from the Victorinox Spatula.
