METHOD

Place gingersnap biscuits in the bowl of your food processor and blend until fine.
Add the butter and blend until combined.

Press into a 26cm collapsible pie tin and bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly cooked.

In a bowl, cream the sugar, eggs and spices until combined.

Add the pumpkin, whipped cream and fold until combined.
