Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gingersnap cookies (crushed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 pints Vanilla ice cream (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Gingersnap cookie crumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed gingersnap cookies and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened vanilla ice cream, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
Remove the gingersnap crust from the freezer and pour the pumpkin ice cream mixture into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Optional: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with gingersnap cookie crumbs for garnish.
Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
