CARDAMOM CREME BRULEE PARFAIT WITH CANDIED PUMPKIN
Here is a classic dessert with a bit of a twist that will stun your Thanksgiving guests, plus it's a great excuse to buy a kitchen torch if you don't already have one. If the idea of parfaits feels like a bit too much work here, feel free to bake the custard in the traditional way in ramekins, brulee the top, then garnish with the candied pumpkin. You can use a 2-inch round cutter for a round serving dish such as a stemmed champagne coupe. These can be made 2 to 3 days ahead, stored in the freezer. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Serve as-is or with whipped cream or caramel sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray.
- Mix 3/4 cup white sugar, egg yolks, egg, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cardamom, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on low speed until well combined.
- Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. Add cream to the egg mixture slowly, mixing on low speed. Pour custard into the prepared baking dish.
- Set the baking pan into a roasting pan; carefully pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set when gently shaken, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Remove baking pan from roasting pan. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add brown sugar, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom, and cinnamon; stir to combine. Add frozen pumpkin and simmer, stirring often, until reduced, about 8 minutes. Cool candied pumpkin to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Cut custard into 18 squares using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Place 1 custard square in a serving dish, add a layer of candied pumpkin, and top with another square. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Use a kitchen torch to flame tops until deeply caramelized and a crunchy layer has formed.

PUMPKIN PARFAIT
This no-bake dessert, inspired by an idea from my colleague Suzanne Hamlin, does require a few hours in the freezer. Still, the active working time is about 20 minutes. You start with canned pumpkin purée, stir in cream, milk and spices, and freeze. Several hours (or days) later -- when you're ready for dessert -- you cut up the frozen purée and put it into the food processor, which makes it smooth and creamy. Layer this ingenious creation with lightly whipped cream if you like - or not.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, 3/4 cup cream, milk, 3/4 cup sugar, spices and rum. Line an 8- or 9-inch square pan with plastic wrap, and pour the mixture into the pan. Wrap the whole pan in plastic, and freeze it in the coldest part of your freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours, until it is frozen solid; it can keep for as long as two days.
- Remove the pan from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving.
- Whip the remaining cream with the 1 tablespoon sugar. Refrigerate while completing the dessert.
- Working quickly to avoid as much melting as possible, cut the frozen pumpkin mixture into small cubes and purée them in a food processor until they are smooth. In small parfait or wine glasses, layer 2 tablespoons pumpkin mixture, then a rounded tablespoon whipped cream, alternating for 4 layers. Serve immediately.

PUMPKIN PARFAIT SQUARES
This is a frozen dessert that Mom carefully copied off of a Libby's canned pumpkin label. I've posted a copy of the label! "If it says Libby's Libby's Libby's on the label label label, you will like it, like it, like it, on your table table table, If it says Libby's Libby's Libby's on the label label label!" -- repeat endlessly...

Steps:
- 1. Mix crust ingredients and press into 9" square pan
- 2. Combine filling ingredients in order listed -- fold into ice cream
- 3. Pour into prepared pan, cover, and freeze until firm. (At least 2 hours, maybe more, so prepare ahead of time.)
- 4. To serve, cut into squares and top with whipped cream and pecans
- 5. IDEA: Since this is not baked, it could be assembled in pretty individual glasses like a real parfait. It could be layered with anything you can think of from the whipped cream, to rice pudding, or a mixture of cream cheese and whipped cream. Then frozen. I would use the graham cracker mix as a topping or inner layer rather than on the bottom. These would freeze faster, too and be oh so very pretty on your table when served.
PUMPKIN GINGERSNAP PARFAIT
Steps:
- Crush 8 of the gingersnap cookies. Beat together the pumpkin, cream cheese, brown sugar, and spices until evenly combined. In a separate bowl, beat together the heavy cream and sugar until thickened. To assemble the parfaits, divide half of the pumpkin mixture into four cups. Sprinkle half of the gingersnap crumbs over the pumpkin. Spoon about half of the whipped cream over the gingersnaps in the four cups. Sprinkle with the remaining gingersnap crumbs. Spoon the remaining pumpkin over the gingersnap crumbs. Top with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish each parfait with a gingersnap cookie.
Tips:
- For a richer parfait, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have pumpkin puree, you can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and pureeing it in a food processor.
- To make the parfait ahead of time, layer the ingredients in a jar or parfait glass and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Garnish the parfait with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
