So far this November, I have explored 50 vegan main dishes and 50 side dishes for Thanksgiving — all vegan, because that’s how I roll — just as I did last year. Instead of 50 desserts for Thanksgiving (as I did last year, too), this year I thought it’d be a fun and helpful challenge to find recipes that can be created overnight, meaning you wake up in the morning to your Thanksgiving dessert, all delicious and ready to go! Let’s face it, 2020 has basically chewed us up and spit us out: Why not make it easy by planning ahead and utilizing a slow cooker (also known by the brand name that made them popular, Crockpot) or refrigerator to cross one thing off our lists on Thanksgiving Day?

I’m in!
