Equipment
- Blender or Food Processor
- 9-inch Pie Plate
- Hand or stand mixer
- Large Bowl
- Rubber scraper
- Spatula
Ingredients
Ginger Snap Cookie Crust
- 35 ginger snap cookies crushed
- 6 Tbsp granular monk fruit sweetener (or granulated sugar)
- 3 Tbsp butter melted
Pumpkin Pie Filling
- 1 package cream cheese 8 ounce, softened to room temperature
- 0.5 cup granular monk fruit sweetener (or granulated sugar)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (ensure it's not pie filling)
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 carton Cool Whip 8 ounce, thawed (or homemade light whipped topping)
Instructions
- First, create your delicious crust! In a blender or food processor, finely crush the ginger snap cookies into crumbs. Transfer these crumbs to a 9-inch pie plate. Mix in the melted butter and 6 tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener (or sugar) with a fork until fully moistened. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Pop your crust into the freezer to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Next, prepare the creamy pumpkin filling. In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of monk fruit sweetener (or sugar) until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is perfectly blended and creamy.
- Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip (or your favorite light whipped topping) into the pumpkin mixture using a rubber scraper. Mix carefully until everything is well combined and airy.
- Spoon this delightful filling into your chilled pie crust, smoothing the top evenly with a scraper or spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or ideally, overnight, to allow it to set beautifully. For best results, especially for special occasions, prepare this the day before! Before serving, you can add extra light whipped topping if you like. Slice into lovely portions and enjoy your healthy, easy-to-make dessert!
