Ingredients

Crust

  • 30 small gingersnap cookies, (about 7 1/2 ounces)

  • 2 tablespoons raisins

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

Filling

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

  • cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

  • 2 pints (4 cups) frozen low-fat vanilla ice cream, softened (see Tip)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.

  2. To prepare crust: Combine gingersnaps and raisins in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add oil and pulse until blended. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.

  3. Bake the crust until set, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  4. To prepare filling: Combine pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a large bowl and mix well. Add ice cream and stir until blended. Spoon the mixture into the cooled pie crust. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. Let the pie soften slightly in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and freeze the pie for up to 3 days.

Equipment: 9-inch deep-dish pie pan

Tip: To soften ice cream quickly, microwave on Medium-Low for 30 to 60 seconds.

Storage smarts: For long-term freezer storage, wrap your food in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil. The plastic will help prevent freezer burn while the foil will help keep off-odors from seeping into the food.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
