Steps:
- For crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind graham crackers in processor. Mix in sugar. Add butter; mix to blend. Press onto bottom and up sides of 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Bake until light brown around edges, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.

- Whisk first 9 ingredients in medium bowl. Slightly soften ice cream in microwave in 10-second intervals. Measure 1 cup ice cream; cover and freeze (reserve for another use). Spoon remaining ice cream into large bowl. Working quickly, add pumpkin mixture and fold just until swirled into ice cream (do not blend completely).

Cool slightly. DO AHEAD: Sauce can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the pie.
- Make sure to chill the pie crust before baking it. This will help to prevent it from shrinking and becoming too hard.
- Don't overbake the pie crust. It should be golden brown, but not too dark.
- Let the pie cool completely before adding the whipped cream topping. This will help to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can use a regular lighter to toast the meringue topping. Just be careful not to hold the lighter too close to the meringue, or it will burn.
