Thanksgiving, a primarily North American holiday has been celebrated across the globe for many years. Blame it on the indulgent feast which is the highlight of the day, or the cosmopolitan city dwellers who simply need a reason to celebrate. Chefs across Mumbai have been serving Thanksgiving dinner and popularising the foreign holiday for a few years now. There are many who insist on doing it the traditional way- cooking up a storm and eating it in the comfort of their homes with their families. We asked Chef Ishika Konar from Atmantan Wellness Centre to share a couple of healthy dessert recipes to round up your perfect Thanksgiving dinner.

Chai Cheesecake

Who doesn’t love a cheesecake? Chef Konar has her own iteration of this classic dessert; she infuses it with the robustness of green tea and a hearty mix of seeds and nuts to elevate this guilty pleasure into a wholesome finale. Just because you had the mashed potatoes, doesn’t mean you can’t choose dessert wisely!
