Makes 12 servings Crust: 2⁄3 cup pecan halves 45 vanilla wafers (may use reduced-fat wafers) 1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, melted Pumpkin Filling: 2 large eggs 1⁄2 cup brown sugar 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated fat free milk 1 can (15-16 ounces, 11⁄2 cups) solid pack pumpkin (not pie filling) 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1⁄4 cup molasses 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ginger 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the pecans in the blender jar; cover the blender jar. Set on Low and Pulse 8 to 10 times to chop finely. Remove and transfer to a 10" deep-dish pie plate. Place 15 cookies in the blender jar; cover the blender jar. Set on High and Pulse 5 times to chop the cookies, then blend for 10 seconds to pulverize; add the cookie crumbs to the nuts in the pie plate and repeat with the remaining cookies. Stir the nuts and cookies with a fork to blend; add the melted butter and stir to combine. Press the cookie/nut mixture evenly onto the sides and bottom of the pie plate. Bake in the preheated 375°F oven for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool on a rack while continuing. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Place the eggs and remaining ingredients in the blender jar in the order listed; cover the blender jar. Set on Low and blend until smooth, about 10 to 15 seconds. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared cookie crust. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 55 to 60 minutes. Center of the pie may appear slightly jiggly - it will continue to set as the pie cools. Place the pie on a rack and cool completely before serving. Refrigerate after completely cool.
