Pumpkin Pies
(from the cookbook Baked: New Frontiers in Baking)
Cookies:
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp. ground ginger
1 Tbsp. ground cloves
2 c. firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
3 c. pumpkin puree, chilled (I admit – I did not chill my pumpkin puree.
Still turned out pretty darn good though.)
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Filling:
3 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment
paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking
soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Set aside. In another large bowl, whisk
together brown sugar and oil until well combined. Add the pumpkin puree
and whisk until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Sprinkle flour mixture over pumpkin mixture and whisk until fully
incorporated.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough on prepared baking sheets, about 1″
apart. Bake until cookies are just starting to crack on top and a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. (I baked my mini
pies using a teaspoon of batter for 9-10 minutes.) Let cool completely on
pan.
Cream Cheese Filling:
Sift powdered sugar into medium bowl; set aside. In the bowl of an
electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add
cream cheese and beat until well combined. Scrape bowl down and add vanilla
and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. (Filling can be made a day ahead
and refrigerated. Let stand at room temperature to soften before using.)
Transfer filling to plastic bag-turned-pastry bag and snip end. Pipe a
large dollop of filling on the flat side of half the cookies. Sandwich the
remaining cookies, pressing down slightly so that the filling spreads to the
edges. Transfer to baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate
at least 30 minutes before serving.
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Ingredients
* 4 cups half and half
* 2 cups heavy whipping cream
* 2 vanilla beans
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1/2 cup light brown sugar
* 7.5 oz canned pumpkin
* 1 tsp. nutmeg
* 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
* 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
Directions
Combine all dairy into a saucepan along with the sugar. Split and
scrape the vanilla beans into the dairy and sugar mixture. Bring to 170
degrees F. to dissolve sugar then let cool at room temperature. Chill in
the refrigerator overnight. While dairy is heating, grate nutmeg into
pumpkin and add the other spices. Mix in a bowl to combine and chill
overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, take pumpkin and dairy
mixture out. Filter dairy mixture to remove large vanilla bean pieces.
Add some of the dairy mixture to the pumpkin and mix well to loosen it
up. Then mix both the dairy and pumpkin together. Freeze in your ice
cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Let the ice
cream harden for at least two hours unless serving all immediately.
