Ingredients
  • CRUST
  • 2 cups gingersnap crumbs (from about 30 cookies) I used Trader Joe's Triple Ginger Snap Cookies
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • FILLING
  • 3 tbsp dark rum
  • 2 tsp unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup + ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground allspice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Freshly whipped cream
Instructions
  1. To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the crumbs and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the butter and mix until the gingersnap crumbs are moist. Transfer to a 9" pie dish and press the crumbs firmly and evenly until they line the bottom and sides of the dish. Bake until slightly darker in color and firm to the touch, about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the filling.
  2. To make the filling: Pour the rum into a small bowl. SPrinkle the gelatin atop the rum and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the pumpkin, heavy cream, ⅓ cup sugar, 2 egg yolks, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Cook the mixture, stirring, until it reaches a temperature of 175F. Transfer the pumpkin mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the rum and gelatin. Set aside to cool.
  4. Meanwhile, in the metal bowl of a stand mixer, beat the 2 egg whites until they begin to hold peaks. With the beaters still going, sprinkle in the remaining ¼ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg white into the cooled pumpkin mixture. Add dthe pie filling to the gingersnap pie shell and transfer to the fridge to set for 5 hours. Serve with a topping of freshly whipped cream and garnish with gingersnap cookie crumbs or a dusting of ground cinnamon.
