Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups finely crushed gingersnaps (about 40 cookies)
6 Tbsp. butter
1 can (15 oz.) 100% pure pumpkin puree
1 pkg. (3.4 oz) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1/2 cup milk
1-1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust:
  • Combine gingersnap crumbs and melted butter; mix with a fork until all crumbs are moistened. Firmly press crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Prepare the pumpkin mousse filling:
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together pumpkin, milk, pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice. Fold in whipped topping.
  • Spoon pumpkin mixture into cooled crust. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Garnish with additional gingersnap cookies, if desired.
