Frozen Pumpkin Mousse Pie
- 8 ounces gingersnap cookies, broken (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 quart low-fat vanilla yogurt softened
- Maple Whipped Cream, recipe follows, optional
- 1 3/4 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup 2 percent reduced-fat milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the gingersnaps, oil, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to form fine crumbs.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake until the crust is set and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar until blended; stir in the frozen yogurt.
- Spread into the cooled pie crust and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
- Wrap tightly in plastic to freeze up to 1 week.
- When ready to serve, transfer the pie to the refrigerator to soften slightly, about 30 minutes.
- Top with Maple Whipped Cream, if desired.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a medium bowl; let stand until absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steaming.
- Whisk the hot milk into the gelatin to dissolve.
- Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla.
- Place the bowl in a bowl of ice water and stir occasionally until just beginning to set around the edges, about 15 minutes.
- Using a hand-held mixer, beat the cold milk mixture on high until thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes.
- Spread on top of the frozen mousse pie; swirl like a meringue topping.
- Serve.
