What an awesome recipe! I always wanted to make a real pumpkin pie but never found the right recipe. I made the Libby's one last year. However, this one is FAR better. All my friends and family love this one. Thanks, Cindy! - Christine

It's good, but it's not that great. The middle came out fine, but I really couldn't tell the difference between this pie and traditional pumpkin pie. It's a neat idea, however, and I might try it with butter pecan ice cream. That might be good.

I made this and took it to my boyfriend's sister's house for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. My only complaint was that I found that the recommended cooking time was too long, since I followed the instructions and the pie was a little bit burnt.

Even with no measuring cups and a tin of 'pumpkin pie spice', this recipe came out great. Also used soy icecream instead of regular, as I am allergic to dairy. Very easy and quick.

I live overseas in Turkey and one year all my expat friends wanted me to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, so I had to find recipes that used ingredients I could get. I found this pumpkin pie recipe that uses fresh pumpkin and vanilla ice cream because there is no canned pumpkin or evaporated milk in this country and it make a fantastic pumpkin pie! Now I have made a terrific pumpkin pie every year for my friends here in Turkey and people are always asking me how I do it. Easy!

Wow! This recipe was fabulous. I didn't read the reviews until after I had made the pie so I didn't know about the problem with it setting - however, I actually made mine in a springform pan and had little trouble! I used the gingersnap crust from another recipe as I have an aversion to pastry and then cooked the pie for an extra 15-20 minutes. It turned out great with absolutely no setting problems - and I would have known when I released the springform pan!

I had never baked any sort of pie before and I was a little worried that the pumpkin pie wouldn't turn out but this was easy and delicious! I paired it with the Healthier Graham Cracker crust from this site and baked it in an aluminum foil pan so I had no issues with the crust burning. There were no cracks at all and the consistency was perfect! I used French vanilla ice cream and a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice instead of separate spices but I did also add in some extra cinnamon. Everyone loved it!

Amazing! Thank you for this recipe. I followed the instructions precisely and it turned out perfect. I can't imagine why others had problems. It's very simple to follow and it DOES work. It had no problem with the center being firm. I made two pies one 8 inch and one 9 inch. They both turned out fine.

Wonderful if you like pumpkin, but sometimes find normal pie a bit rich. My grandpa, who doesn't like much of anything loved this! A favorite, and will be a staple at holidays!

Before I made this, I wanted to read all the other reviews to try to troubleshoot on the matter of not being 'done in the middle'. I decided to use vanilla bean Hagen daz brand icecream because it is known for being very, very creamy and rich. I also bake my pumpkins instead of steaming them....that way it helps to get more water out of the pumpkin and one is left with pure puree. I think doing both those things was really the key for me in having a wonderfully creamy, rich pie that everyone raved over. I did add some more pumpkin pie spice and also doubled the recipe making 2 pies. This was truly amazing and everyone raved. Adding fresh whipped cream on top when serving made everyone definitely NOT want to calorie count! Thanks for the different recipe.

I wish I could give this 3 1/2 stars because it doesn't quite hit the 4 star mark for me. Based on other reviews, I decided to double the batch and make 2 deep dish 9" pies (with frozen pie crusts). I bought Edy's french vanilla ice cream and canned pumpkin ( one 15 oz. can per batch= the amount of cups called for in the recipe) and added a 3/4 tsp. of extra pumpkin spice to the mix. I microwaved the ice cream until warm and left the eggs room temp. Baked according to directions, the pies did not seem cooked through, so I added 15 minutes and hoped that would do the trick. However, tonight at my party I was a bit let down with the results. Slicing the pie was difficult (it doesn't hold its shape well) and people chose other desserts over the pie because its appearance was messy. The taste was good (but I oddly couldn't even tell there was icecream in it) but less firm than desired and a little gooey. I got one compliment on it, but the two pies were mostly un-touched. I think I will try another pumpkin pie recipe next time.

I made this pie to take to share with my co-workers. Everyone loved it! I personally am not a big fan of pumpkin pie but I must admit that this was the best one I've had in a long time! Can't wait to make it again!

Fabulous pie! I got raves! Too make it more pumpkiny flavored, I added 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. I also used just one 10 inch graham cracker crust to be a little different. My family loved it!
