Planning a Thanksgiving dinner for friends and family? Of the different recipes concocted in the kitchen for the festive meal, delicious desserts stuffed with creamy, fruity and sweet fillings will take the centre stage during the last course of the dinner. And what better way to make the sweet fillings than in Usha’s Mixer Grinder, which will ensure maximum aeration and good integration? Dessert fillings made in the mixer grinder are light, fluffy, full of flavour and thoroughly suitable for lifting up the Thanksgiving dessert section.
Apple-Cinnamon Spiced Crumble Filling

Come winter, apples are in season and the crispy, sweet fruits pair exceedingly well with the aromas and spicy flavours of cinnamon. Make an apple crumble in the mixer grinder infused with the notes of cinnamon and a light sweetness coming from the brown sugar. Using the grinder integrates all these ingredients including apples, cinnamon powder, brown sugar, butter and a hint of lime juice rather beautifully. The consistency is then just enough to make a crumble without turning the whole mixture into a purée.
Classic Pumpkin Pie Filling
Nothing spells Thanksgiving more than a delicious, perfectly-baked pumpkin pie. And what makes the pumpkin pie so tasty is a sweet, creamy stuffing made using pumpkin purée, condensed milk and lots of spices. Use the mixer grinder to bring all these ingredients together and create a filling with a creamy, lump-free consistency. Turn your pumpkin pie stuffing into a bakery-quality dessert by blending the filling to smooth, silky perfection in the mixer grinder.

Maple-Pecan Pie Filling

A nutty, luxurious filling that spells all things festive, the maple-pecan filling can be prepared in the mixer grinder so it achieves a slightly coarse texture without turning the whole thing into powder. It can be used to prepare mini pecan pies, tartlets and even as a cheesecake topping complete with a nutty goodness. Use generous proportions of maple syrup, coupled with pecans, butter, brown sugar and a hint of vanilla to prepare the pie filling. Whether added to a traditional pie or to treats like tartlets, the sweet, earthy flavours of the maple-pecan filling become the perfect addition to a festive feast.
Spiced Sweet Potato And Honey Cream Filling
Sweet potatoes feature prominently in Thanksgiving repasts and one of the ways to incorporate them into the dessert course is in the form of a filling made using this root vegetable, some cream and lots of honey. Use the mixer grinder to blend the spiced sweet potato, honey and cream mixture into a fine, smooth, mousse-like consistency. Chill the mixture before using it for filling pastry or tart shells so it sets adequately. This light, subtly spiced festive filling added to a tart pairs rather well with warm ginger cookies, served with a dollop of ice cream.
Chocolate Ganache Filling

Rich, glossy and luxurious, a chocolate ganache filling is the dessert upgrade one would need while hosting a sumptuous, luxe Thanksgiving dinner. Prepare the ganache filling by mixing dark chocolate, cream and butter in the mixer grinder to lend it a silky, smooth finish. The dark chocolate ganache can be used to accentuate the flavours of tarts, to make gooey cupcake centres, in profiteroles or even in layered parfaits.
