Perfect for the holidays! Plan ahead as there is a lot of freezing in between layers. Freezing time is not included in prep or cook time. Ingredients:
20 gingersnaps, crushed (1 1/2 cups) |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 pint eggnog ice cream or 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened |
1 cup pumpkin |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 tablespoon rum or 1 tablespoon brandy |
1 cup heavy cream (whipping) |

1. Crust: In a bowl, combine gingersnap crumbs and butter or margarine. Press over bottom and up side of a 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate about 30 minutes. 2. Filling: Spoon softened ice cream over chilled crust. Smooth surface with back of a spoon. Cover with foil or plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 3 hours. 3. In a bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and rum or brandy; set aside. 4. In another bowl, beat 1 cup whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold into pumpkin mixture.
