This pie is like enjoying maple-soaked pancakes with a cup of coffee, but it’s great any time of day. A hint of bourbon, or vanilla if you please, enhances a custardy chess pie base that’s then topped with a slightly sweetened espresso-infused whipped cream. Candied orange, while optional, makes for an especially festive, sparkly finish.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to enjoy some extra-special desserts with family and friends. With classic flavors and creative twists on fall flavors, there are so many ways to end your holiday meal on a sweet note.
