Pumpkin Parfait Squares image

This is a frozen dessert that Mom carefully copied off of a Libby's canned pumpkin label. I've posted a copy of the label! "If it says Libby's Libby's Libby's on the label label label, you will like it, like it, like it, on your table table table, If it says Libby's Libby's Libby's on the label label label!" -- repeat endlessly...

Number Of Ingredients 16

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c melted butter
FILLING:
1 1/2 c pumpkin
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cloves
FOLD INTO:
1 qt softened vanilla ice cream
TOP WITH:
whipped cream
pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Mix crust ingredients and press into 9" square pan
  • 2. Combine filling ingredients in order listed -- fold into ice cream
  • 3. Pour into prepared pan, cover, and freeze until firm. (At least 2 hours, maybe more, so prepare ahead of time.)
  • 4. To serve, cut into squares and top with whipped cream and pecans
  • 5. IDEA: Since this is not baked, it could be assembled in pretty individual glasses like a real parfait. It could be layered with anything you can think of from the whipped cream, to rice pudding, or a mixture of cream cheese and whipped cream. Then frozen. I would use the graham cracker mix as a topping or inner layer rather than on the bottom. These would freeze faster, too and be oh so very pretty on your table when served.

These squares are the perfect way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. They're also a great make-ahead dessert.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my squares turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These squares are really good, but they're very rich. I could only eat a small piece at a time.

I added a little bit of cinnamon to the pumpkin filling and it gave it a really nice flavor.

I didn't have any graham crackers, so I used crushed vanilla wafers instead. They worked just as well.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but these squares were surprisingly delicious! The cream cheese frosting really balances out the sweetness of the pumpkin.
