    Prep Time 10 min
    Cook Time 6 hours
    Yield 8 servings

    Ingredients

    • 1 can (29 ounces) pumpkin
    • 1-1/2 cups sugar
    • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
    • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
    • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • Gingersnap cookies, crushed
    • Whipped cream, optional

    Directions

    1. Pour 1 in. water into a 6-qt. slow cooker. Layer two 24-in. pieces of foil; roll up lengthwise to make a 1-in.-thick roll. Shape into a ring; place in slow cooker to make a rack.
    2. Whisk together first 7 ingredients. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish; set aside. Fold an 18x12-in. piece of foil lengthwise into thirds, making a sling. Use sling to lower baking dish onto foil rack, not allowing sides to touch slow cooker. Cover slow cooker with a double layer of white paper towels; place lid securely over towels.
    3. Cook, covered, on low 6-7 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°. Remove baking dish from slow cooker using sling. Top servings with crushed gingersnap cookies and, if desired, whipped cream.
