Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (use gluten-free if desired)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling

  • 1 quart Breyers Gluten-Free Extra Creamy Vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Topping

  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar, then stir until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing down firmly with a spatula or your fingers to form an even crust layer.
  2. Bake the crust: Place the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened vanilla ice cream, pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour the pumpkin ice cream filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Freeze the pie: Place the pie in the freezer and chill for at least 4 hours or until completely firm and set.
  6. Serve: Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream. Slice and enjoy this creamy, frozen pumpkin pie alternative.

Notes

  • You can use any vanilla ice cream variety if you prefer; butter pecan or similar flavors may also work well.
  • This pie can be made weeks in advance and stored in the freezer, making it ideal for holiday meal prep.
  • To keep the recipe gluten-free, ensure you use certified gluten-free graham crackers and check all ingredient labels.
  • For easier scooping and mixing, slightly soften the ice cream by letting it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before mixing.
  • Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
