Curious to hear what everyone's cooking on their egg for Thanksgiving dessert. Would like to do either something traditional or unique.

My MIL arrived the other day when her broom landed. Ever since, she has taken control of damn near everything including my Thanksgiving menu. What's for dessert????? I'm having the same thing as the appetizer. BEER!Flint, Michigan

Not on the egg, but I've been fixing a kick butt pumpkin dessert for several years now and I'll never go back to pumpkin nor pecan pie! No need to beg me for the recipe but just me for it tomorrow - ok?

I have been making 2-3 Pecan Pies for Thanksgiving from a recipe that I found about 15 years ago. I had to start baking an extra and hiding it in the laundry room a number of years ago because there was never any left.
There are ground pecans in the crust, pecan pieces in the filling and pecan halves floated on top. The additional ingredient of Brandy in the crust and filling is something else. But it is the crust that really makes it.
I have had people that said they didn't care for pecan pie devour the thing.
If anyone wants the recipe, just let me know.

@DMW , you won't regret it. And yes, it is really good.

Cook's Illustrated has started using vodka in their pie doughs, the alcohol doesn't form gluten in the flour the way water does (iirc); they use vodka as its otherwise mostly flavorless. I bet the brandy really complements the pecan; then add smoke?!?

My mil will be bringing a couple of chocolate pecan pies from Youngs Pecans in Florence, SC and they are pretty good. @Sonny3 your recipe sounds really good and I will be sure to save for another time. My go-to for Thanksgiving is Pumpkin Chiffon pie. It is THE BEST. My mother used to make 3, one just for me. Now I have taken over and make 2 every year. I'm sure she would approve.Charlotte, NC
