Why I Love This Recipe
Dulce de leche has its origins in Latin America, and its name translates to 'sweet milk'. It's often made by slowly heating sugar and milk until it forms a delicious caramel-like syrup. The rich and sweet flavor makes it a wonderful complement to pumpkin and spices!
Ingredients You'll Need
1 1/2 cups ginger snap cookies, crushed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup dulce de leche, divided
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
***For the Crust***
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed ginger snap cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until aromatic and golden-brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
***For the Ice Cream Filling***
1. In a large bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream, pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of the dulce de leche, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
2. Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
***For the Topping***
1. In a medium bowl, whisk the chilled heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form.
2. Spread the whipped cream over the frozen pie filling.
3. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of dulce de leche over the whipped cream in an artful pattern, and use a knife to gently create swirls.
4. Freeze the pie for an additional hour to set the topping. Before serving, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes for easier slicing.
Pairs Well With
