looking for a pumpkin dessert recipe that my Mom used to make yrs ago - she, of ocurse, has lost the recipe.

I know you used ginger snaps for the crust. The filling was canned pumpkin mixed with ice cream and I don't know what else. Ring any bells with anyone?

I hope this is it.


Crust
2 cups crushed gingersnap cookies
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well.
Firmly press into a 9x13” inch baking dish. Chill.

Filling
1½ cup plain canned pumpkin
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened

Put the softened ice cream in a large bowl.

In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin, brown sugar,
cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix well. Fold the pumpkin
mixture into the softened ice cream and blend well.

Pour the mixture into the chilled gingersnap crust. Cover and
freeze. When ready to serve, let it thaw for several minutes.
Cut into squares and garnish with a dollop of sweetened whipped
cream and coarsely crushed gingersnaps.
