Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie
Step 1: Soften the Ice Cream
Before you start this recipe, take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften it a bit. It is just so much easier to work with once you start mixing these ingredients together.
Step 2: Add the Can of Pumpkin
Then, add in a can of pure pumpkin. I do love Libby’s brand, but any pure pumpkin will do.

Step 3: Add the Ice Cream
Once the ice cream softens, then add in 7 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
If you are sticking with an egg-free recipe, just make sure to check out the vanilla ice cream ingredient label.
Sometimes there is egg in vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, I have made that mistake before with my daughter. Thank goodness I realized before she was sick.
Sometimes labels change and food has been cross-contaminated with the allergens. For the egg allergy, I have learned that there is a difference between homemade vanilla, French vanilla, and just plain vanilla.
Step 4: Then The Cool Whip
Next, add in two cups of Cool Whip topping. There is just something heavenly about the sight, smell, and taste of Cool Whip. I love it!

Step 5: The Cinnamon
Next, add in a half teaspoon of ground cinnamon. It just gives it a little kick that makes you feel like you are eating a baked pumpkin pie. Let me know if you feel the same way.
Step 6: The Nutmeg
Then, for taste and for that oh so wonderful smell, add in a half teaspoon of nutmeg.
Step 7: Mix It Up
Once you have all of the ingredients together, mix it up. I love using a wooden spoon for a heavier group of ingredients.

Step 8: Smash the Crust
Okay, so normally I put the filling into an uncracked pie crust, but sometimes you just have to accept that your pie crust crumbles.
So if this happens just go with it because honestly, I think that it tastes better with the smashed-up pieces of graham cracker crust on the bottom of the swirled pumpkin ice cream.
Anywho, you can make that call, but if you do crumble it, please keep me posted as to how it went over.
Step 9: Pour It In
Then, pour in the smooth pie filling, and take in the scent and beauty of this no-bake pie.
Step 10: Freeze It
Then, freeze this pie overnight and enjoy. When you do take it out of the freezer, be sure to let it sit out for a little bit to soften the ice cream.
Recently, I purchased this Oxo Glass Pie Plate for the upcoming season, and I love it. You can freeze it, microwave it, put it in the oven and the dishwasher. What a dish!
If this recipe is a hit, you may need more than one. 🙂
