Tips

- Ensure your pumpkin puree is fresh and smooth. You can make your own puree by roasting and mashing a pumpkin or use a high-quality canned puree. - Don't over-mix the ice cream base. Over-mixing can result in a grainy texture. - Use high-quality gingersnap cookies for the crust. This will ensure a flavorful and sturdy crust. - Press the gingersnap crumbs firmly into the pie plate to create a compact crust. - Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. - Let the pie crust cool completely before filling it. - When making the ice cream filling, be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling. - Slowly whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. - Cook the ice cream base over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. - Pour the ice cream base into a bowl and let it cool completely before churning it in an ice cream maker. - Once the ice cream is churned, fold in the whipped cream and chopped gingersnaps. - Pour the ice cream filling into the cooled pie crust and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
