Step 1

Prepare the crust: Combine gingersnap crumbs and melted butter; mix with a fork until all crumbs are moistened.

Prepare the pumpkin mousse filling: In a mixing bowl, stir together pumpkin, milk, pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice. Fold in whipped topping.
Spoon pumpkin mixture into cooled crust. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Garnish with additional gingersnap cookies, if desired.
