This Pumpkin Ice-Cream Pie is a festive autumn treat that combines the warm spices of pumpkin pie with the refreshing coolness of frozen dessert. The base is a crisp, buttery graham cracker crust that provides a perfect textural contrast to the smooth filling. By blending solid-pack pumpkin with orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream, you achieve a uniquely bright and creamy flavor profile that cuts through the richness. It’s an effortless no-bake (for the filling) dessert that feels elegant enough for Thanksgiving or holiday gatherings but simple enough for a weeknight treat. Let it freeze until firm for the best slice.
