Pumpkin Parfait by Jo

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the crust into a 9×9-inch square baking dish. Place the pumpkin into a large bowl, and mash it up with a spoon. Mix in 1/2 cup of brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until smooth. Gently stir in the softened ice cream. Spread the pumpkin mixture over the graham cracker crust. Freeze until firm, 4 to 6 hours; cut into squares.

Lightly mix the whipped cream with confectioners' sugar and a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl; serve each square with a dollop of the sweetened whipped cream.
