Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (200 g) Digestive Biscuits or Graham Crackers, finely crushed
- 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon (for crust)
- 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
- 10 oz (280 g) Mini Marshmallows
- ¼ cup Whole Milk
- 15 oz can (425 g) Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (for filling)
- ½ tsp Ground Ginger
- ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (for filling), very cold
- ½ cup Heavy Cream (for garnish)
- 1 Tbsp Powdered Sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Pinch of extra Cinnamon (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Crush the biscuits, 2 Tbsp sugar, and ½ tsp cinnamon in a food processor or zip-top bag until fine crumbs form.
- Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and mix until fully coated. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie dish.
- Firmly and evenly press the crumbs along the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Combine the marshmallows and milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat immediately.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, the remaining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until uniform. Set aside to cool slightly to room temperature (about 10 minutes).
- In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the air.
- Pour the pumpkin marshmallow filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with the spatula.
- Return the assembled pie to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set completely (overnight is best for clean slicing).
- Just before serving, whip the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream with the powdered sugar until medium peaks form. Decorate the pie with the whipped cream and dust lightly with extra cinnamon or nutmeg. Slice with a hot, sharp knife for the cleanest cuts.
