Instructions

  • Assemble the Dessert:
    Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the ginger snap crust. Add a layer of the pumpkin mixture, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture.
  • Top and Chill:
    Top with the rest of the whipped topping and sprinkle some additional ginger snap crumbs on top.
  • Refrigerate and Serve:
    Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
