Pumpkin Icebox Pie With Snickerdoodle Crust Recipes

PUMPKIN ICEBOX PIE WITH SNICKERDOODLE CRUST

Steps:

• Make the crust:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter pie pan.
• Whisk cinnamon and 1 Tbsp. sugar in a large bowl. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat 4 Tbsp. butter and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolk and vanilla and beat until just combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture; beat until just combined.
• Transfer dough to a work surface, flatten into a disc, then press into cinnamon sugar to coat both sides. Transfer to prepared pan and press evenly into bottom and up sides with a flat measuring cup. Poke holes all over the bottom with a fork, then freeze 15 minutes.
• Bake crust until lightly golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Make the filling:
• Beat cream cheese and pumpkin purée in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add maple syrup, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and continue to beat until streak-free.
• Meanwhile, cook brandy, gelatin, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until dissolved. Stir into pumpkin mixture.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat 1/2 cup cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, then fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour filling into crust and smooth surface. Chill at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Before serving, beat remaining 1 cup cream in a large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Top pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Do Ahead
• Crust can be made up to six hours before filling. Filled pie can be stored in the refrigerator for one day before serving.

PUMPKIN ICEBOX PIE

Steps:

• Make crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, combine graham crackers, sugar, and salt; process until fine crumbs form. With machine running, slowly pour butter through feed tube and process until mixture resembles wet sand. Press crumbs in bottom and up sides of a 9-inch square baking dish. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and fragrant, 20 minutes. Let cool completely in baking dish on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make filling: Place 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let stand 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and cream cheese until smooth. In a small saucepan, combine evaporated milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; bring to a simmer over medium. Add gelatin mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Pour milk mixture into pumpkin mixture and whisk until completely smooth.
• Pour filling into cooled crust and refrigerate until chilled and completely set, about 3 hours (or wrap tightly with plastic and refrigerate, up to 2 days). To serve, whip cream with confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Top pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg.

PUMPKIN PIE SNICKERDOODLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan and lay a piece of parchment (or wax paper or foil) paper across the pan, so that it extends beyond the pan (the paper is an optional step, but it will make it easier to get the bars out later).
• To make Snickerdoodle layer: Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.Stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
• To make Pumpkin layer: In a mixer bowl, mix together all ingredients until well combined. This layer will be less thick and more pourable. Pour over the snickerdoodle layer, smoothing out the top.
• To make topping: Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a little bowl. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.
• Bake for 33-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean. Let the bars cool completely. They will deflate a bit and remain a bit pie-like on the top layer. The bars that are closer to the edges of the pan will be more firm, but are still equally as good.
• To make drizzle: After the bars are completely cool, place the chopped white chocolate into a bowl or zip-lock bag and melt on low power. When it's completely melted, add the pumpkin pie spice and mix. Use a spoon or cut a small corner off the bag and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the bars and let it cool and harden.
• Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into bars.

ICEBOX PUMPKIN-MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, process wafers and brown sugar until finely ground. With machine running, slowly add butter and process until mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until crust is dry and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely in plate on a wire rack.
• Make the filling: In a clean food processor, process pumpkin puree, cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. With machine running, add maple syrup in a slow, steady stream. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold pumpkin mixture into whipped cream. Spoon filling into crust and refrigerate until set, 3 hours (or up to 1 day).
• Make the topping: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and confectioners' sugar on high until stiff peaks form, 3 minutes. With spatula, mound topping over pie and serve immediately.
