Ingredients

• 200 grams gingersnap cookies
• 85 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 425 grams pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 whipped cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

Place the gingersnap cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.

Step 4

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use the back of a measuring cup to press the crumbs tightly.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until set and slightly golden. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely while preparing the filling.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Pour the pumpkin filling into the cooled gingersnap crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the tart in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 9

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.

Step 10

Before serving, you can top the tart with whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy!
