Indulge in the creamy, spiced goodness of Frosty Pumpkin Dessert, a no-bake frozen treat that perfectly captures the essence of fall flavors. This quick and easy recipe combines velvety pumpkin puree with sweetened condensed milk, aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and a touch of vanilla for a flavorful base. Whipped heavy cream is gently folded in to create a light and airy texture, while a sprinkle of crushed gingersnap cookies adds a delightful crunch. Ready in just 15 minutes of prep time, this make-ahead dessert requires only a few hours in the freezer, making it the ultimate crowd-pleaser for holiday gatherings or cozy nights in. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of pumpkin spice for an extra festive touch!
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
In a separate chilled bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Prepare 6 small serving dishes or freezer-safe dessert cups. Spoon the mixture evenly into the dishes, filling each one about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the crushed gingersnap cookies over the top of each dessert, pressing down slightly to create a crumbly layer.
Cover each dish tightly with plastic wrap and place them in the freezer. Allow the desserts to freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
When ready to serve, remove the desserts from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Frosty Pumpkin Dessert!
