This frozen torte is a great make–ahead alternative to taditional pumpkin pie. Tasty gingersnap cookies form the crust, which is topped with pumpkin–flavored ice cream and drizzled with both caramel and hot fudge toppings. You may never return to pumpkin pie.
While the buttery, maple-scented filling is inspired by classic pecan pie, we swap in toasted walnuts and add chopped fresh cranberries for a beautiful pop of color and tart flavor contrast that cuts the sweetness.
