Ingredients

Scale

240 grams gingerbread cookies, finely crushed

60 grams unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

100 grams light brown sugar

115 grams molasses

240 ml heavy cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream for serving, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch pie dish.

Make the crust: mix the gingerbread crumbs with the melted butter and a pinch of salt until the mixture clumps when pressed. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Bake 8–10 minutes, then cool completely on a rack.

Prepare the filling: whisk the eggs with the brown sugar until smooth. Add the molasses and vanilla, then whisk in the cream. Sprinkle in the flour (or cornstarch) and spices, plus a pinch of salt, whisking until the mixture is completely smooth.

Assemble and bake: Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake 40–50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center gives a slight jiggle. If the crust browns too quickly, tent the pie with foil.

Cool and set: Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for clean slices.

Serve: Slice and top with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

Gingerbread pie feels like a warm hug you can share with friends who arrive hungry and ready for something special. The crust is built from crumbled gingerbread cookies, bound with a touch of butter, and baked until it smells like a holiday kitchen. It’s sturdy enough to hold a pourable filling, yet tender enough to melt on your first bite. The filling is a silky, spiced custard—molasses-wicked and warmly aromatic with ginger, cinnamon, and a hint of clove. It slices cleanly, shows off a glossy top, and tastes like a memory you’re just making in real time. It’s simpler than it sounds, and completely Pinterest-worthy in its cozy, nostalgic glow.
