It is Thanksgiving time in the United States and we are adding some seasonal flair to…
There is no better way to give thanks than with a tasty dessert! That’s why Birthright Israel Foundation is excited to bring you ‘Chopped Sweets’ winner and alumna Abby Dahan’s Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake recipe. Abby’s coffee cake stands out from the rest with the addition of pumpkin making it the perfect fall dessert. So, how about a slice of pumpkin streusel coffee cake with a pumpkin spice latte? You can use any leftover pumpkin puree to whip up a pumpkin spice latte at home.
Plus, if you’re really feeling festive this season, you can also make Abby’s Maple Diamant Cookies or our pumpkin spice challah. We highly recommend checking out the food section of our blog for your holiday baking and cooking needs. For Thanksgiving specifically, we’ve got Sweet Potato Latkes and a Sweet Potato Kugel recipe you won’t want to miss.

Lastly, if baking isn’t your thing, you can head on over to The Bake School where Abby herself will show you a thing or to about the art of baking. P.S.
