A hint of ginger gives a vibrant punch to these icy, dreamy peach crumble bars while chopped fresh pecans and a maple-sweetened shortbread crust gives them a wonderful crunch. Better yet, it's free from both dairy and gluten, so even those with sensitive bellies can enjoy it. This recipe was developed in partnership with So Delicious Dairy Free. They have an incredibly delicious new line of creamy dairy-free treats out including the Peach Maple Pecan flavor we used in this recipe, a Blueberry Cardamom flavor, and several others
Heat the oven to 350 F, and line a 8-by-8 cake pan with parchment paper, allowing the parchment paper to hang over the sides of the pan by about 6 inches.
Toss all ingredients for the crust into a food processor, and process about 1 minute until they form a sticky and consistently uniform dough.
Turn the dough out into the prepared pan, and press it down to form a thin, even layer. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until a caramel brown color barely tinges the edges of the crust, and the crust is evenly cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
Spoon one pint of So Delicious Peachy Maple Pecan Dairy-Free Frozen Dessert over the crust, and spread it into a smooth, even layer with a spatula. Generously spoon the chopped peaches over the first layer of frozen dessert, pressing them in very slightly. Spoon the second pint of So Delicious Peachy Maple Pecan Dairy-Free Frozen Dessert over the peaches, and spread it smoothly, but gently into the pan. Evenly scatter the chopped pecans and crystallized ginger over the final layer of frozen dessert.
Fold the overhung parchment paper over the final layer of pecans and ginger, gently pressing them into the tin. Freeze overnight.
Holding the parchment paper, lift the bars out of the cake tin and set them on a cutting board. Warm a knife under hot water, and then slice the dessert at 1-inch intervals to form long bars. Slice these bars in half to form 16 small bars, approximately 1-inch thick and 4 inches wide.
