Cranberry Maple Syrup Pudding
When Le Creuset asked me to create a sweet Thanksgiving side this year with their Heritage bakeware collection, I decided to stray away from pies and dive into baked puddings.

Sous Vide Pumpkin Crème Brûlée The rich orange pumpkin hues get brighter and more fragrant in this crème brûlée where cardamom, ginger, and saffron come into play.

Sweet Potato Honey Beer Pie
Sweet potatoes are on a monthly rotation in my household; even my dog, Snoopy, loved them. The different components of the pie can be prepared on different days. Here’s a suggested order of steps you might find useful, especially if you make this for Thanksgiving.
Day 1: Roast sweet potatoes, reduce the beer, and prepare the pie crust, but don’t blind bake (partially bake). Day 2: Blind bake the pie crust, prepare the sweet potato custard, and bake the pie. Of course, you can also do this all in one day.

Spiced Pumpkin Flan
Flan or creme caramel is a childhood dessert that’s continued to remain a favorite no matter how old I get. This pumpkin flan is golden and carries a delicate warm scent of spices making it a favorite at home as well as a popular alternative to pumpkin pie at our Thanksgiving dinners. The flan can be made ahead of time making it a fantastic choice for a dinner party.
