The flavors were good but ours had melted because our thanksgiving hosts didn’t have room for it in the freezer. A soupy mess
Where do you find pumpkin ice cream, I have looked all over!
I made this for Thanksgiving last year..for both sides of my family, and they all loved it!!! So easy to make and it got rave reviews! I plan on making it again this year! Super easy to make, and one less thing to worry about! Who wants to worry about making pies, when you can make this ahead! Done!
I have made this for the past three years, and every year it gets rave reviews. I make my pie crust out of a mix of Trader Joe’s Vanilla Wafers and their gingersnap cookies. Making the whipped cream is a must; it’s so good! This year I added some bourbon to the whipped cream and made one pie for grownups only. Delicious!
This was delicious! I used pumpkin pie snap cookies in place of the pumpkin bread. i used a store bought graham cracker crust. I used whipped topping instead of the whipping cream. will make again experimenting with different flavors! Thanks for the great recipe!
This was fantastic! The only modification I made was cinnamon ice cream. It was the hit of the dessert table!
I made this last thanksgiving and my family devoured it! This year I decided I needed to make 2! Super easy and quite the special treat!
Super easy and very tasty ! Next time I will make a little more of the whip cream. Recommend this dessert!!!
