Level: Easy
Total: 4 hr 40 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup walnuts
  2. 4 cups heavy cream
  3. 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin pie puree
  4. 4 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  5. Two 16-ounce boxes gingersnap cookies (about 112 cookies)
  6. 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the walnuts out on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop.
  2. Meanwhile, beat the heavy cream, pumpkin pie puree and confectioners’ sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  3. Spread a fifth of the pumpkin mixture on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, followed by a layer of gingersnap cookies (4 cookies wide by 7 cookies long). Repeat 3 more times, for 4 layers of pumpkin and cookies. Finish with the remaining pumpkin mixture. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips on top of the cake right before serving.

Please clarify the size “can” used in this recipe.

I’m a dark chocolate fan but no no Chocolate chips here – skip!

I make a similar frozen dish with a 30 oz can of pumpkin. I would had seasonal spices to the pumpkin mix.

Michael Wilson
Was not a fan. Lacked flavor.
Thomas Taylor
I’m still confused. Do I use 100% pumpkin or pumpkin pie mix? I understand the difference in the two products, just don’t know which one to use.
Robert Lindsey
Does anyone think you could make,it with windmill cookies instead?
Lindsay Adams
Sounds sooo good. I’m making it, and taking to the In-laws.
Lance Ortiz
Pumpkin purée is canned pumpkin. The spices are in the cookies!
Carl Johnson
I cannot believe Ann in using pumpkin pie purée. That stuff is trash. You should use canned pumpkin and add your own spices.
Todd Long
Absolutely delicious! Pumpkin pie is one of my all time favorites, I loved this simple and fun spin on a classic flavor.
Emily Thomas
amazing that is all I can say.

Saw the show and loved it. I’m a fan of preparing things in advance. This is perfect for that. .I made half a batch yesterday to see, if we like it. It’s sooooo good. Will have to make another batch for Thanksgiving Day.
