Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
Start by making the graham cracker crust. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon to pack it down firmly. Pop the crust into the freezer for at least 15 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened pumpkin spice ice cream with the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth. This step adds an extra layer of pumpkin flavor and spice, making the pie even more irresistible.
3. Assemble the Pie
Pour the ice cream mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top so it’s nice and level, then cover the pie with plastic wrap. Place the pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until it’s firm.
4. Serve and Garnish
When you’re ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon for that perfect fall touch. Slice, serve, and watch as everyone goes back for seconds!
