Ingredients
  

  • #### For the Gingersnap Crust:
  • - 2 cups 200g gingersnap cookies, finely crushed
  • - 4 tbsp 60g unsalted butter, melted
  • #### For the Pumpkin Filling:
  • - 1 cup 240ml pumpkin puree
  • - 1/2 cup 120ml heavy cream
  • - 1/3 cup 65g granulated sugar
  • - 1/4 cup 50g brown sugar
  • - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • - 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • - 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • - 1 large egg beaten
  • #### For the Topping:

Instructions
 

  • **Prepare the Crust:** Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed gingersnaps and melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a greased mini muffin tin or tart molds. Bake for 5–7 minutes, then let cool.
  • **Make the Filling:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla extract, and beaten egg until smooth.
  • **Fill the Crusts:** Spoon or pipe the pumpkin filling into the prepared crusts, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • **Bake:** Return the filled crusts to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  • **Cool:** Allow the bites to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • **Top & Serve:** Pipe a dollop of whipped cream onto each bite and garnish with crushed gingersnaps, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
