Ingredients

Ginger Snap Cookies – You will use ginger snap cookies as the crust. These are a really crunchy cookie that is loaded with spicy ginger flavor.

Butter – Unsalted butter that has been melted is what you will use as the base of the crust to help form the crust together.

Sugar – You will use sugar in the crust and in the pie filling.

Salt – Salt is going to help enhance the flavors of the crust and the pie filling.

Pumpkin – Pumpkin puree is what you will use for the base of the pie. It is going to offer such a creamy texture.

Heavy Cream – You will use heavy cream for mixing in the homemade no-churn ice cream as well as making a whipped cream for topping the pie.

Sweetened Condensed Milk – Reach for sweetened condensed milk for the ice cream. It is going to add so much velvety texture to the ice cream but also sweeten it perfectly.

Powdered Sugar – A little bit of powdered sugar is used to sweeten the heavy cream.

Tips for Success

Crust

If you want after you make your crust you can place it in the freezer to allow it to set up and harden before you add the ice cream.

Also, make sure you press down all the crust to firmly pack it in the pie pan.

Soften Ice Cream

Make sure that you soften the ice cream slightly so that it mixes into the pie mixture. This will make it easier to mix in the pie easily.

Swirling Ice Cream

You can use a toothpick or a butter knife to swirl into another color of pie filling. This is easy to do just place a toothpick in and lightly swirl. You can swirl as little or as much as you like depending on how it looks.

Freeze The Pie

Once you get it assembled you will freeze the pie. Just place it in a freezer container. Then once it is set up you can slice and serve up the pie.
