Thanksgiving Dessert with less sugar

Why Serve a No Sugar Added Dessert for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

1. Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

Pumpkin spice meets cozy comfort in this creamy pie. Instead of baking, it starts with a layer of ice cream (swap Homemade Vanilla for No Sugar Added Vanilla), mixed with real pumpkin purée and warm fall spices, all nestled into a graham cracker or almond flour crust.

Once frozen, it slices like a dream and feels as creamy and spiced as your favorite fall drink.

Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Ice Cream Pie

2. Sweet Potato Ice Cream Pie

Think roasted sweet potatoes, blended smooth and folded into creamy vanilla ice cream (replace Natural Vanilla in this recipe for No Sugar Added Vanilla). It’s poured into a nutty crust, frozen until firm, and served with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped topping. 

This frozen dessert for Thanksgiving is sweet, warmly spiced and feels like a homemade favorite, even though it takes just minutes to make.

Thanksgiving Gingersnap Ice Cream Squares

3. Gingersnap Ice Cream Squares

These frosty little squares taste like the holidays in every bite. They’ve got layers of cinnamon-spiked gingersnap cookies softened by scoops of ice cream. This recipe calls for Natural Vanilla, but try CarbSmart™ Vanilla, instead. Then, they’re frozen into perfectly sliceable bars. The snappy texture of the gingersnaps adds a cozy crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy topping.

Serve them straight from the freezer with a crumble of toasted pecans or a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce for a dessert that feels like grandma’s cookie tin.

Thanksgiving Apple Pie with Ice Cream

4. Oh My Apple Pie

Picture warm, cinnamon-spiced apples layered into a dish with cold scoops of Breyers No Sugar Added Vanilla and crushed pecan nuts (in place of Butter Pecan). Pieces of crushed golden pie crust add that satisfying crunch and makes this dessert feel like your favorite apple pie, only easier and ready in minutes.

Thanksgiving Turkey Ice Cream Cake made with Breyers Vanilla Ice Cream

5. Turkey Ice Cream Cake

This cheeky showstopper swaps the traditional turkey for layers of Breyers Homemade Vanilla, peanut butter, frosted whipped topping, chocolate-covered pretzels and a turkey-shaped decoration on top. Want to swap out the candy? Try unsweetened coconut flakes, sugar-free chocolate shavings, toasted nuts, or even fresh berries for a pop of color. If you still want a playful “turkey look,” use fruit slices (like strawberry or apple fans) or low-sugar pretzels to create the feathers. It’s glossy, goofy, and guaranteed to steal the spotlight (no gravy required).
