PUMPKIN-CHEESECAKE PIE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST
Spicy gingersnaps stand in for the more traditional graham crackers in the crust of this Pumpkin-Cheesecake Pie, and make an excellent foil for the rich pumpkin-cream cheese filling. A border of meringue piped into leaves and bruleed with a kitchen torch takes the pie to the next level.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse gingersnaps and sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add butter and pulse to combine. Press mixture evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Bake crust until golden in spots, about 15 minutes. With the bottom of a measuring cup, gently flatten bottom and sides of crust. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
- Filling: Pulse cream cheese in food processor until smooth. Add sugar and pumpkin and process until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Add egg and yolk, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; process until incorporated.
- Pour filling into cooled shell and bake until custard is just set, about 33 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Meringue: Combine sugar and egg whites in a heatproof mixing bowl. Set bowl over (not in) a pan of simmering water, whisking until sugar dissolves and whites are warm. Remove from heat. Beat on high speed until thick, glossy stiff peaks form, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large leaf tip (such as Ateco #115). Pipe leaves around border of chilled pie, releasing pressure to create tips. Holding a small kitchen torch at a 90-degree angle, 3 inches from surface of meringue, move flame back and forth over meringue until it starts to brown. (Or broil 6 to 8 inches from heat source, about 1 minute.) Serve immediately.

GINGERSNAP PUMPKIN PIE
I initially cooked the crust, but am thinking that pouring pumpkin filling over the crust and cooking together would work better Also should use a deep pie dish..lol I used my homemade pumpkin and just used a can of evap milk, but a canned filling recipe works just as well

Steps:
- 1. preheat oven to 350 grind up enough gingersnap cookies to make 1 1/2 cups. melt the butter and add to cookie mixture, toss with fork until well mixed pour into a deep pie dish and press to form a crust, just like you would for a cheesecake
- 2. take pumpkin mixture, whether you use homemade or canned filling: in which just follow your directions to make, and mix with eggs and evap milk until well blended pour into prepared pie pan and place on cookie sheet in case of overflow in oven
- 3. place in oven and cook for 45mins, i've found that just placing in oven and not changing temp makes for a better pie, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, everyone's oven cooks differently ;) cool, and serve
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Gingersnap pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The gingersnap crust adds a unique and flavorful twist to the classic pumpkin pie. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy holiday bakers.
