Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Pie Tips for Success

  • For a prettier presentation, carefully set your pie in this dressy pie plate (view here). 
  • Real cream may substitute for Cool Whip. Whip up one cup of heavy cream or whipping cream, adding to it 1/4c. confectioners sugar and 1t. vanilla. 
  • If you use fresh pumpkin, be sure to purée it to break down the stringy fibers. This also helps keep your filling from getting watery separation.
