Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse Pecan TartIt's finally time to roll out these healthy holiday desserts! I was trying to keep this recipe under wraps until mine and Yvonne's Sweet Eclectic Thanksgiving Collaboration was complete, and it was so hard to keep this to myself. We created two dessert recipes for you all to try this year, each with a unique flare of its own. What we came up with was this Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse Pecan Tart and a Raw Pumpkin Spiced Mamey Cheesecake. Both recipes are gluten-free, soy-free, and of course, 100% vegan.

2Raw-Pumpkin-Spiced-Mamey-CheesecakeThe perfect Thanksgiving recipe for your menu this year, using a special, unlikely ingredient! Click here for our FULL Vegan Gluten-free Sweet Eclectic Thanksgiving menu. Mamey sapote always reminds me of pumpkin and sweet potato, and pairs well with the spices often used with those ingredients. When I was brainstorming a dessert recipe to create for Thanksgiving this year, I wanted to share with you all a unique recipe. I remembered that I had mamey sapote in my freezer, and voila, this recipe was born. (If you don't have mamey, you can try subbing in pumpkin or baked sweet potato).3Raw-Pumpkin-Spiced-Mamey-CheesecakeIt's finally time to roll out these healthy holiday desserts!

1Cranberry Pomegranate CiderFor Thanksgiving, don't forget to include beverages on your menu! Since I don't drink alcohol, I opted to create a seasonal virgin cider to enjoy and share with my family. 4Cranberry Pomegranate CiderThis recipe is a perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the hint of cinnamon and orange are what bring it all together. It tastes like a tea, and can be served warm or cold (if you chill it before serving), plus it is so easy to make!

Vegan Savory Pumpkin Pie (gf)The excitement I feel when I bring a recipe idea to life will never get old. The idea of a Savory Pumpkin Pie that is vegan, gluten- and soy-free seemed too good to be true, but we got it to happen and it was SO GOOD. Not only have Yvonne and I created a new favorite for our personal menus this Thanksgiving holiday, but this is a recipe we want you to try and enjoy with your family! savorypumpkinpie

Vegan-Meatloaf-682x1024 This dish will fool any meat eaters you have at your holiday dinner this year! The combination of the quinoa, oats, mushrooms and nuts provide this dish with the perfect "meat" loaf texture. Finish it off with your choice of our Cranberry Glaze recipe from this year's series or a traditional meatloaf glaze.
