Gingerbread Pie

Gingerbread Pie is the perfect dessert for any holiday celebration. Layered with gingerbread flavor, a creamy sour cream layer and topped with whipped cream and spices, you simply won’t need another holiday pie recipe ever again!

Much like peppermint, Gingerbread is a staple flavor for the holidays. You just can’t celebrate the holidays without it.

After making our Gingerbread Bars, I decided it was time to take this holiday spice flavor to the next level and make it in a pie that is creamy and full of texture.

So, get ready to whip up this delicious holiday pie!

What is Gingerbread Made of?

Gingerbread is a baked sweet that contains ginger and sometimes a blend of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom and anise. It is often sweetened with a combination of brown sugar, molasses, light or dark corn syrup, and/or honey.
