Arrow

Ginger Snap Crust: – 35 ginger snap cookies, crushed – 6 tbsp. granulated sugar (or granular monk fruit sweetener) – 3 Tbsp. butter, melted

INGREDIENTS

Arrow

Pumpkin Filling: – 1 (8 oz.) pkg., cream cheese, room temperature – 1/2 c. granulated sugar (or granular monk fruit sweetener) – 1 c. pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) – 1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice – 1 tsp. vanilla extract – 1 (8 oz.) carton, Cool Whip

INGREDIENTS

Step 1: Prepare the crust

Using a blender or food processor, pulse the ginger snap cookies into crumbs. Pour out the crumbs into a 9" pie plate or pan. To the crumbs, add the melted butter and 6 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well with a fork until the crumbs are completely moistened.

Step 2: Freeze the crust

Firmly press the crumb mixture to the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Place the prepared crust in the freezer while you make the pumpkin filling.

Step 3: Make filling

With a hand or stand mixer, cream together the room temperature cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar. Add in the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Mix in cool whip

Using a rubber scraper, fold in the Cool Whip, (or my Homemade Cool Whip recipe) to the pumpkin mixture. Mix well.

Step 5: Refrigerate the pie

Spoon the filling into the chilled crust. Using a rubber scraper or off-set spatula, evenly smooth the filling into the crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 6: Slice and enjoy

If desired, top with additional whipped topping or whipped cream. Slice and serve.
