How to Make Freezer Pumpkin Pie With Gingersnap Crumb Crust

  1. **Get started with the Gingersnap Crust:**
  2. Finely crush 1 ½ cups (150g) of hard gingersnap cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed gingersnaps with ¼ cup (50g) powdered sugar and 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter or margarine. Mix until evenly moistened.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
  7. **Now for the dreamy Pumpkin Filling:**
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  9. Gently fold in 2 cups (475ml) of softened vanilla ice cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  10. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the cooled gingersnap crust.
  11. Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  12. Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 8-10 minutes to slightly soften.
  13. Slice and serve each piece topped with whipped cream (optional).
