Marshmallow Pumpkin Pie with a Gingersnap Crust is a perfect “semi-homemade” holiday pie that everyone is going to love.
We all have a food scent that reminds us of the holiday season. For me it’s pumpkin pie. This recipe is perfect for filling your home with that classic fall scent…pumpkin pie together with ginger snap cookies for such a delicious combination. I’m sure it will become a new family favorite at your house too.
For this pie you can make one 9inch pie in a spring form pan or you can use these small 4 inch tart tins with the removable bottom to make mini pies (like we did). A pre-made cookie crust would also work and make it a truly no-bake pie, but we both know that’s not going to be nearly as buttery and delicious. On the other hand, you can make it a little more “homemade” by throwing together your own pumpkin pie spice.
Make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice:
Did you know that it’s super easy to make your own pumpkin pie spice? It’s just a few basic spices mixed together. Store it in an airtight container and use it when a recipe calls for it. You can also adjust the amounts of each spice. Allspice a little much for you? Take a little out. Do you love ginger? …Add some more!
