Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- Mix together the ground graham crackers, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Then stir in the butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the crust into a 9″ pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Place in the refrigerator while we make the filling.
No Bake Pumpkin Pie Filling
- Using an electric mixer or by hand with a fork, mix together the cream cheese and sugar until combined. Scrape down the bowl and then whisk in the pumpkin and spices until completely smooth.
- In a separate mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and milk power. Whip on high speed until you reach a smooth consistency with stiff peaks, about 1 to 2 minutes. Careful not to over whip so keep a close eye on it!
- Spoon a little less than half of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Using a whisk, fold the two together until well blended with no lumps.
- Spread a thin layer of filling in the bottom of the crust. Arrange a single layer of gingersnap cookies on top, breaking cookies as needed to fill big gaps. Spread a third of the remaining filling on top. Place another layer of cookies, then a third of the filling, cookies, and the remaining filling.
- Top with the remaining whipped cream and top with crushed gingersnaps. Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- The next day, serve straight from the fridge and enjoy!

GLUTEN FREE – For the crust, use gluten free graham crackers. I like Pamela’s. Then reduce the butter to 4 tablespoons. For the ginger snaps, use a gluten free option like MI-DEL (the best option), Tate’s, or Partake.
