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 the sling to lower the 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.

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.
