A holiday classic reborn as bars — tender shortbread, cheesecake swirls, a ribbon of chocolate, and spiced pumpkin custard. Inspired by my mother’s Thanksgiving pie, these nostalgic squares bring warm kitchen memories to every dessert table.
POACHED PEARS IN RED WINE
Poached pears gently simmered in red wine with warm spices and citrus. A classic French autumn dessert that’s fragrant, beautiful, and surprisingly simple.
PUMPKIN CUSTARD POTS
Silky pumpkin custard infused with maple, cardamom, and autumn warmth. These cozy little pots are perfect for woodland evenings and candlelit gatherings — simple to make, beautifully comforting, and one of October’s sweetest pleasures from The Gilded Table.
