Instructions
Creating Frozen Pumpkin Dessert is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix well until crumbly.
2. Form the Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even layer.
3. Mix the Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold in the Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
6. Combine Layers: Pour the pumpkin filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
8. Serve: Once frozen, remove from the freezer and let sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will make it easier to cut.
