Some of the best desserts get overlooked simply because they're not the usual suspects on the holiday table. These recipes are seriously delicious but don't always get the spotlight they deserve at Friendsgiving. I started bringing these to gatherings a few years ago, and now people specifically ask me not to show up with the standard pumpkin pie. They're the underdogs that end up stealing the show once people actually try them.
