Ingredients

  • 8 ounces gingersnap cookies, broken (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 quart low-fat vanilla yogurt softened
  • Maple Whipped Cream, recipe follows, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

1. Combine the gingersnaps, oil, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to form fine crumbs. Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until the crust is set and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar until blended; stir in the frozen yogurt. Spread into the cooled pie crust and freeze until firm, about 3 hours. Wrap tightly in plastic to freeze up to 1 week.

3. When ready to serve, transfer the pie to the refrigerator to soften slightly, about 30 minutes. Top with Maple Whipped Cream, if desired.

Maple Whipped Cream:

  • 1 3/4 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup 2 percent reduced-fat milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a medium bowl; let stand until absorbed, about 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steaming. Whisk the hot milk into the gelatin to dissolve. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla.

2. Place the bowl in a bowl of ice water and stir occasionally until just beginning to set around the edges, about 15 minutes. Using a hand-held mixer, beat the cold milk mixture on high until thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Spread on top of the frozen mousse pie; swirl like a meringue topping. Serve.

    Delicious thats all I can say! I added the whipped cream after the pumpking filling was frozen then I froze it again! I made it last night and I am making it again for another Christmas party. I also used a little extra crust, because I love ginger snap crust! Again Delicious!

    I made a few changes based on what I had on hand...I used vanilla ice cream instead of frozen yogurt. For the whipped topping I just used whipping cream whipped up with a little powdered sugar, vanilla, and pure maple syrup. I love ginger snaps but thought it was a little overpowering flavor, so next time I'll do a graham crust. It was GREAT and I plan to make again for sure!
