Layer the Ice Cream:
- Working quickly, spoon the praline and French vanilla ice cream into the chilled pan, pressing it in the bottom and up the sides with the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula.
- Cover the ice cream with two 14×12″ strips of plastic wrap crossing diagonally over the ice cream.
- Gently press the wrap against the ice cream to form a 1/2″ thick shell.
- Freeze for about 2 hours until firm.
-
Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, mix together the solid-pack pumpkin, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well blended.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes until the mixture just comes to a boil.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until completely cool.
-
Whip the Cream:
- In a medium bowl, whip the cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture.
-
Assemble the Torte:
- Remove the plastic wrap from the frozen ice cream shell and pour in the pumpkin mixture.
- Freeze the torte for at least 3 hours or overnight.
-
Serve:
- Just before serving, remove the pan sides and, if desired, lift the torte from the pan bottom using two broad metal spatulas.
- Place the dessert on a serving plate.
- Pipe a border of whipped cream around the bottom.
- Garnish the top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Arrange the glazed pecans around the top edge.
-
Glazed Pecans:
- Have a lightly greased cookie sheet ready.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the light brown sugar, butter or margarine, and water over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until thick and golden.
- Remove from heat and stir in 8 to 10 pecan halves until well coated.
- With a slotted spoon, lift the pecans from the pan, one at a time, scraping off excess sugar mixture, and arrange them on the prepared cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Let stand until set and completely cool.
Note:
- Ice Cream Consistency: Ensure that the ice cream is soft enough to spoon but not melted. It’s too soft if it’s melted around the edges.
