I'm making a flourless chocolate cake.

It's ridiculously easy, yet people think it's incredibly fancy and hard to make.

My mom makes a pumpkin cheese cake. Its good if you want something a little different but want to stick with pumpkin.

Pumpkin Spice Cake - super duper easy and really good.  Instead of the stuff they have sprinkled on the cake I drizzle caramel all over

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• 4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder plus additional for sprinkling (I prefer Dutch processed - usually can be found in your grocery store, near the packaged hot cocoa mix)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375?F and butter an 8-inch round baking pan (I prefer a springform pan, lined with buttered parchment paper). Line bottom with a round of wax paper and butter paper.

Chop chocolate into small pieces. In a double boiler or metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate with butter, stirring, until smooth.

Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk sugar into chocolate mixture.

Add eggs and whisk well. Sift 1/2 cup cocoa powder over chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined.

Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top has formed a thin crust.

Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate.

Dust cake with additional cocoa powder.

Kraft has some good ones. My favorite is the Two Layer Pumpkin Pie (full fat stuff can be used too):

 

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, softened

1 Tbsp.  cold fat-free milk

1 Tbsp. sugar

1-1/2 cups  thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping

1 ready-to-use reduced-fat graham cracker crumb crust (6 oz.)

1 cup  cold fat-free milk

1 can (16 oz.) pumpkin

2 pkg.  (4-serving size each) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Pudding

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp.  ground ginger

BEAT Neufchatel cheese, 1 Tbsp. milk and sugar in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in whipped topping. Spread onto bottom of crust.

POUR 1 cup milk into medium bowl. Add pumpkin, pudding mix and spices. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. (Mixture will be thick.) Spread over Neufchatel layer.

REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until set. Garnish with additional whipped topping, if desired. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.

Ranee - this is one of my favorite recipes.  I'm not usually allowed to bring anything to Thanksgiving dinner except this.  One of my mom's favs!

We usually have pumpkin chiffon pie (it's much lighter than traditional pumpkin) and baked apples.  This year I'm also making dump cake.

On our Thanksgiving site, there is a great recipe for Easy Pear Galette.  Why not try it out for likes?

 

Easy Pear Galette

• 1 cube of Lucerne? Sweet Cream Butter
• Concorde pears (approx. 2-3)
• Cinnamon sugar
• Pastry dough

1. Unfold a refrigerated 9-inch pie crust onto a pizza pan.

2. Brush with melted Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter.

3. Leaving a 2-inch border, cover generously with peeled, cored, sliced Concorde pears.

4. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to taste.

5. Fold pastry to make a 1 1/2-inch border.

6. Bake in a 375? oven until well browned, about 45 minutes.

Last year I made pumpkin pie squares.  So good!  This year I'm making pumpkin pie trifle.  I love pumpkin, but I'm not that in to pumpkin pie, so these are both great alternatives.
