Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (crumbled) gingersnap cookies
- 6 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces (softened) cream cheese
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (cold) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the gingersnap cookies until finely ground. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely crumbled.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to firmly press the crumbs down.
Place the crust in the freezer to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the canned pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin filling until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the filling into the chilled gingersnap crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly.
Slice and serve as is, or top with additional whipped cream for garnish.
