Ingredients

  • 32 gingersnap cookies blended into crumbs
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ½ gallon vanilla ice cream divided in half
  • 8 oz Cool Whip thawed
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Crust: In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the butter for 30-60 seconds or until completely melted. Then you can crush the ginger snap cookies into a fine dust like mixture with a rolling pin in a Ziplock bag. I prefer to use a blender or a food processor for this step.
    Pour the melted butter over the gingersnap crumbs and stir to combine. Press the gingersnap mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.
  • Layer one: Divide the 1/2 gallon of ice cream in half and leave half of it out at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften (put the other 1/2 back in the freezer). Then fold the Cool Whip into the softened ice cream and mix to combine well.
    Spread the ice cream mixture evenly over the top of the crust, then place in the freezer until firm (about an hour) before making the second layer.
  • Layer two: Pull the other half of the ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften for about 10 minutes before transferring to a large bowl.
    Add the pumpkin, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice to the ice cream and mix to combine.
    Pull out the crust from the freezer and spread the pumpkin layer over the ice cream layer and put back in the freezer to freeze overnight.
  • Serve: Set out for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Remove the sides of the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream on top, if desired.
    Slice, serve and enjoy!
