...but I figured that the more ideas I got, the better.)I am always responsible for the bulk of Thanksgiving dinner (which I love doing). Our dinner is always a traditional one (Turkey and/or ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, yams, etc.) but my niece makes the dessert for our dinner -- I provide her with the recipe and she shows up with the finished dish which is very nice. (She's an accomplished cook so I get to pick anything that I want.)
In the past, for example, she has made a complex fruit compote to spoon over ice cream and last year I had her to make a Boston Cream Pie which was quite delicious, (and somehow I had never tasted Boston Cream Pie before so that's why I chose it.)
So what I'm looking for is a very nice dessert, something somewhat aside from the traditional but still a dish that most of my dozen or so guests will enjoy. This year, my mother-in-law is also bringing along two big cherry pies so anyone who doesn't go for the *new* dessert is covered.
Fire away and thanks in advance!
