Ingredients
Gingersnap crust:
- 2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs about 9oz of Gingersnap Cookies
- 2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled
Filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups Finely chopped pecans
Instructions
Gingersnap crust:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add the gingersnap cookies to a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Next, add sugar and cinnamon and pulse a few times to combine everything.
- After that, pour the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie pan and use a cup to press it evenly onto the bottom and up the sides.
- Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before adding the filling.
Filling:
- In a chilled bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, and using an electric hand mixer (or stand mixer), beat until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup until combined and creamy. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl a few times.
- Next, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, and stir until combined.
- Also, stir in 1 cup of the finely chopped pecans.
- Spread the filling into the cooled pie crust, level with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight before serving.
- For best results, decorate the pie with whipped cream roses before serving and drizzle with caramel sauce.
