If you are craving something sweet, that’s loaded with pumpkin flavor and warm fall spices, look no further than this Creamy Pumpkin Icebox Pie. It’s a cool twist on traditional pumpkin pie that’s simple to make with a few store-bought shortcuts.

Over the past month or so, I’ve made this recipe several times, and my family has gone crazy over it. I know I’ve said that about other desserts that I’ve made, but this one…well, even my “I’m not a big pumpkin fan” husband has been caught sneaking a slice.

What Makes This Pumpkin Pie So Special?

Two things make this pie so unique. First is the warm flavors of pumpkin pie spice mixed with sweet vanilla ice cream. They go together marvelously, like it was meant to be.

Next, it’s all about the texture. The filling is super creamy, and when combined with a simple graham cracker crust, you’ve got a match made in heaven!

Ingredients for Creamy Pumpkin Icebox Pie.

Ingredients Needed For Creamy Pumpkin Pie

  • Brown Sugar
  • Pumpkin Purée – make sure not to use pumpkin pie filling
  • Vanilla Ice Cream – use your favorite brand
  • Vanilla
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice – you can use store-bought or make your own with this recipe.
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt
  • Graham Cracker Pie Crust

How To Make This Pie Recipe

The hardest thing about making this pie is waiting for it to freeze! You don’t need a stand mixer, hand mixer, or any fancy equipment. And it uses simple ingredients that are classics in just about any pumpkin dessert.

  • In a small saucepan, cook the brown sugar, pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice mix, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until the sugar has melted. Place it in the refrigerator to cool.
  • Take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften while the pumpkin filling cools.
  • Mix the softened ice cream and the pumpkin filling together and pour into the prepared pie shell. Cover and place in the freezer to set until fully frozen.
  • Slice, add a dollop of whipped cream, and dig in!

How Long Do You Freeze Pumpkin Icebox Pie?

For this recipe, it’s essential to ensure that the pie is frozen so that it sets correctly. Freeze it for a minimum of 6 hours, but I highly recommend overnight.

How To Store Leftovers

For any leftovers, cover the pie and store it in the freezer. It will keep for up to 3 weeks.

      Hey there Virginia!
      Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe, this creamy dreamy Icebox Pie is so simple to make and tastes like Fall with every bite, I think you’re going to love it! You can absolutely make this recipe ahead of time, it has to freeze for a minimum of 6 hours before you can serve it, but you can keep it in the freezer for up to a month if it’s stored with a lid or covered with foil. I will say, the longer it sits in the freezer before serving, the more likely it is to get a little freezer burnt, but if you’re thinking of making the pie one or two weeks ahead of an event it’ll be perfect! Let me know how everything turns out, I really hope you enjoy the recipe!
