Ginger Pumpkin Torte Recipe

Mary Wensing Dvorachek
20 Old Fashion Ginger Snap cookies - crush fine (purchased or homemade).
(divide the crushed ginger snaps)

2 Tbsp. butter (melted)
1 can pumpkin (15 oz) put in blender and puree
1/2 c. pack brown sugar (packed)
2 envelopes unflavored Gelatin
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. milk
2 1/2 cups Cool Whip

Mix 1 cup ginger naps and butter. Take mixture and press it in the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan.

Mix the pumpkin, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth with your beaters.

Sprinkle the gelatin slowly over the milk and let stand 1 minute, then cook on low stirring the milk and gelatin until completely disolved, this takes about 3 minutes. Pour into your blender and mix well.

Take the pumpkin mixture and combine with 2 cups of the Cool Whip. Take and spread over the crust. Refrigerate for 1 or more hours before serving. You can decorate the edge with whipping cream and make them in the shape of ghosts, or top with your favorite Halloween candy, such as pumpkins, candy corn, etc.

Enjoy

    You know... I don't like cinnamon much, but in a recipe like this, it looks worth a try. Thanks, Mary. :o)

    Yeah, Mary. The same thing happened to me. How did you resubmit? When I tried, it went to a page that did not offer me any other option except up front payment plus page views. Annoying is right, expecially since my piece was on the most commented on page. Lost all my page views and everything. It is upsetting.

    Loved your recipe the first time around and love it still.

    Sorry Everyone, they published this too soon and then decided not to accept it. Annoying. Well anyways, I had to resubmit it for non pay. This was one of their contests. Oh, well. Hugs Mary
