Thanksgiving is coming.... First "food" holiday post sirgery

Turkey day is coming up this weekend.... And I am trying to plan the menu for our big family gathering.  I am not concerned about the main course, more so dessert. Why? Because I am always in charge of dessert. I will make the usual yummy desserts, but would also like to bring something that I can enjoy.  

I have an old we recipe for crust less pumpkin pie, don't love the flavor of it.  Anyone have a go to dessert recipe that could share? I haven't told many people I had surgery, can say I am on a diet lol.  

What about baking an apple with cinnamon on it and having that with sugar free vanilla icecream.  It could be in the oven beside the turkey.

One receipe Id love to try (and have had bookmarked for two years now) is:

I apologize but from my phone I can't make this one of those links so feel free to copy and paste. 

Serve it with apple slices and I'm sure everyone's waistlines will appreciate it!

This looks delish.  Thanks for sharing it! 

Both sound like a great idea! Thank you!

I've made a salad that some have used for dessert:

1 container low/no fat coolwhip, 1 pkg sf jello, 1 can fruit ****tail or pineaple, 1 container (about 500 mL) of cottage cheese.   Mix it all together and let it set.

You can always check out the recipe forum as well, you might find something interesting:

You know what I served as one of the desserts a while back at a family gathering? I was surprised at how popular it was - I made it so I could have something friendly to eat, and people really liked it. It was my old standby of fruit and ricotta.

So, what I did was used a round, shallow dish, poured in a container of ricotta cheese mixed with splenda and vanilla to taste (I'm generous with the vanilla), and then I topped it with seasonal fruit - in that case, sliced peaches with wild blueberries sprinkled on top.  It almost looked like a flan.  You could probably do the same thing with apple or pear slices (although I'm not sure how you'd get them not to brown - maybe lemon juice?).

I was shocked when it was one of the more popular desserts served!
