No-Bake Pumpkin Squares

 

1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1 16 ounce can pumpkin

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

 

Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow to soften. In a small dish, melt

the butter or margarine. Place about 11 large graham crackers in a plastic bag

and crush to make 1 1/2 cups of crumbs. Add the sugar and cooled butter and mix

well. Press this evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan. In a large bowl,

combine the pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, and spices. Fold in the softened ice

cream and stir until smooth. Spread this evenly onto the graham cracker base.

Cover and freeze until firm, about two hours.

Twenty minutes before serving, remove the pan from the freezer and allow to thaw

at room temperature. Cut into 3-inch squares. Serve with whipped cream.
