Question:

What are some of your favorite go-to vegan Thanksgiving desserts?

— Blanca Martinez

Answer:

Okay, I know pretty much know what I'm making already. And my daughter will be making some, I will be doing a cranberry pear galette. Now let me show you something. This is real life how I do things. What I have in here is since last night I've got cranberries that were washed and drained and I have half the recipe in here. So I have the maple syrup, orange juice, and I used and I reduced the amount of maple syrup for no good reason really. I wanted to use some date syrup, which is also called salon. Then I made a line and I wrote, add salt apples corn, stretch water slurry, because I didn't get that far. And I might think, or you might think you'll remember, but I guarantee you might not. So this will be ready to go. Um, I will be, so I'll be making that, I'll be making pumpkin pie. I will be making baked Alaska because my family likes that. And I actually think having some, a bit of frozen dessert, whether it is vegan ice cream or banana based ice cream is actually ora sorbet is actually very refreshing. After a heavy meal, I will be, uh, serving some chocolate pudding for sure. And cookies that those are, that's my family request. And then I always like to try something new, something new.
