King Cake with Cream Cheese Filling
This recipe for king cake with cream cheese filling is, hands down, the best I've ever eaten. It's a combination of several recipes, not too sweet and not too bready, with a rich, tender crumb and the traditional lemon and nutmeg flavors of a genuine NOLA king cake. It's great with coffee and best eaten the same day but pretty darn good the day after (if there are leftovers!). Enjoy, y'all!

Cardamom Creme Brulee Parfait with Candied Pumpkin
Here is a classic dessert with a bit of a twist that will stun your Thanksgiving guests, plus it's a great excuse to buy a kitchen torch if you don't already have one. If the idea of parfaits feels like a bit too much work here, feel free to bake the custard in the traditional way in ramekins, brulee the top, then garnish with the candied pumpkin. You can use a 2-inch round cutter for a round serving dish such as a stemmed champagne coupe. These can be made 2 to 3 days ahead, stored in the freezer. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Serve as-is or with whipped cream or caramel sauce.
