About This Recipe
| This recipe appears in: | Day-After-Thanksgiving Brunch Menu |
Ingredients
- 1 pumpkin pie, with the custard scooped out and separated from the crust
- 1 large ginger cookie
- 1 slice of pound cake
- 1 tablespoon of Amaretto
- 1 1/2 cups of soft vanilla ice cream
- 2 1/2 cups of whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of cranberry sauce
Procedures
-
1
The trifle has four components: a crust-cookie-cake crumb bottom, a pumpkin-pie-ice-cream custard, a cinnamon whipped cream, and a cranberry sauce syrup--which sounds like a lot of steps, but each honestly takes 2 minutes. Begin by making the crumb, by pulsing the pie crust, cookie, pound cake, and amaretto lightly in the food processor until you have a crumb mixture. Be careful to stop before the mixture resembles a dough. Set aside.

For the custard, combine the pumpkin pie custard filling with the softened ice cream (a vanilla custard) with a hand mixer or a whisk. Set aside.

3
For the whipped cream, whip the cream and the cinnamon together with a hand mixer until the cream reaches a soft peak.

4
For the cranberry syrup, boil together the water, sugar, and cranberry sauce for 10 minutes, until it has reduced and become syrupy.
