The holidays would not be the same without scrumptious treats for the family to enjoy. If you are planning on going somewhere for the holidays make a special gluten-free dessert that your whole family can enjoy. These desserts are so special, not to mention absolutely delicious, that your family and friends will not know or care that they are gluten-free.

For a festive, beautiful presentation try our Pecan, Pear Torte with Cream Cheese Frosting. This lovely pecan torte is topped with pears poached in a fresh raspberry puree, frosted with a orange flavored cream cheese frosting and garnished with sparkling, frozen cranberries. For an old favorite, try our Dutch Apple Pie. This pie is mostly cooked on the stovetop and only finished briefly in the oven. It is truly delicious and is guaranteed to be devoured in record time.

If you are looking for something elegant and less traditional, try our Cornets with Fresh Fruit. If you can’t find fresh berries, consider piping Chocolate-Coffee Mousse into the center of the cornet and garnishing with chocolate shavings, freshly whipped cream and toasted pecans. This dessert is very impressive and yet so light and satisfying — a perfect ending to a filling Thanksgiving dinner.
