While everything stays pretty much the same on our Thanksgiving menu, it’s always fun to try a new dessert. That doesn’t mean we stray too far from pumpkin and pecan pies that no Thanksgiving would be complete without, but there is some little twist.
I’ve been experimenting with this and that from one publication or another, and this Pumpkin Tart with Whipped Cream and Almond Toffee from Southern Living is a hands down winner!
It has a dark, rich color and taste that is likely attributed to having molasses as an ingredient.
Unlike the perfectly presented photo in Southern Living, I finished each piece individually, first topping with the whipped cream
and then with the almond toffee. The end result was the same: super good!
If you haven’t decided on your Thanksgiving dessert, this one is absolutely delicious and leaves one wanting more though I recommend resisting the temptation because the tart is rich. One suggestion: you may want to cut the whipped cream portion by half and reduce the amount of powdered sugar unless you like it quite sweet.
This tart would be a perfect finish to any meal, so if you’ve already got Thanksgiving under control, give it a try another time.
