Pumpkin Pie In a Jar

By MJH

Ingredients

• 3 c. finely crushed ginger snaps, plus more for garnish
• 12 tbsp. butter, melted
• 1 15-oz can pumpkin puree
• 3 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 c. heavy cream
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Make crust:
In a large bowl, mix ginger snap crumbs with melted butter until fully coated.

Make pumpkin layer:
In a small bowl, mix pumpkin puree with 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon. (For best results, transfer mixture to a piping bag.)

Make cream layer:
In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in cream cheese and remaining two tablespoons sugar. (For best results, transfer mixture to a piping bag.)

Among four mason jars, layer ginger snap crust, pumpkin, and cream, alternating until you reach the top of the jar.

Garnish with ginger snaps and serve.
