I’m back in the saddle for Slow Cooker Sunday!
It’s time to start hording the canned pumpkin and get busy making all your favorite pumpkin recipes! Even though it’s a couple more weeks til Fall, it’s OK. If football is on……it’s OK. You will LOVE this Crock Pot Gingersnap Pumpkin Custard I made. I completely altered a recipe from the Crock Pot Slow Cooker Recipe book. It’s satisfying and reminds you of pumpkin pie, but without the crust. Because it’s crustless, it’s going to be lower in carbs. I also used Truvia as a sweetner, so it’s pretty much sugar free. Except for the gingersnaps and whipped cream. It’s almost as good as my Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake.
I go through a lot of canned pumpkin this time of year. I buy the non-sweetened kind, usually from Trader Joes. Your usual pumpkin pie filling has sugar or corn syrup added……but seriously…….who needs that? I like using pumpkin for my Pumpkin Spice Smoothies. Full of fiber and nutrients. Kids love them!
This was a pretty quick recipe to cook, only taking about 4 hours, I wouldn’t leave it in your slow cooker while you’re at work. I started it around 2pm and it was ready for us after dinner.

Sounds yummy! I’m guessing the gingersnaps are just for sprinkling/garnishing?

Yes……I knew I forgot something. Thanks for the heads up. I crumble and actually stir them in for texture and flavor!
