Ingredients

  • 1 cup broken gingersnap 

  • Cookie pieces (12 small cookies)

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée

  • 2 tsps cinnamon

  • 1 whole egg

  3. Place the remaining ingredients, except nuts, in a large bowl. With an electric blender, mix until well distributed and smooth.

  4. Evenly distribute the pumpkin mixture over the cookie pieces, sprinkle with nuts and place ramekins in a 9×13 pan. Fill pan with water to about halfway up the ramekins. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
