I've never quite gotten the hang of making a good pie crust. So I came up with this recipe, featuring a cake mix and cookie crust. The creamy pumpkin filling pairs well with the crunchy topping.

The gingersnap crust was a bit too hard for my liking. I think I would have preferred a softer crust.

This dessert was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sugary gingersnap crust.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always have a lot of pumpkin puree left over after Halloween, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm going to try making this recipe again with a few modifications. I think I'll use a different type of gingersnap crust and I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the pumpkin filling.

This dessert was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made gingersnap crust to save time, and the pumpkin filling was simple to prepare. It was a perfect fall dessert.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin desserts, but this one was surprisingly good. The gingersnap crust added a nice touch of spice and the pumpkin filling was light and fluffy.

This recipe was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The gingersnap crust was perfectly crispy and the pumpkin filling was smooth and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again next year.
