Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until fully combined, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for 3 minutes to thicken.
  2. Gently stir in 1/4 cup of molasses, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of cloves until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of cold heavy cream and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the gingerbread pudding mixture and then pour the creamy filling into the prepared pie shell.
  5. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the pudding filling and sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
