Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
-
Crush the cinnamon graham crackers into fine crumbs in a food processor or sealed bag.
-
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter or margarine until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.
-
Bake the crust for 8 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.
-
Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
-
In a large bowl, soften the vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet slightly so they are easy to mix.
-
Gently fold in the solid-pack pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until just combined; do not overmix to maintain airiness.
-
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
-
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours, or up to 2 weeks.
-
About 10 minutes before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature to soften slightly for slicing.
-
Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and garnish each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and candied orange peel diamonds if desired.
