okay finally instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.) Place ice cream near the warm oven to soften.Or just have it ready ahead of time.... making homemade eliminates this whole mess...

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Stir in the pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix in soft ice cream until smooth. Pour filling into 9 inch pie shells.

3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until filling is set.

my pie is never ready in 40 minutes... it usually takes about 45-55mins but I have an electric stove so that might be why.

I'm going to have to do a "taste test" of this pie vs. the one I make and see which I like better. 3nodding

*purrrrrr*

oh, vanilla ice cream as a secret ingredient....sounds yummy....I will have to try that, especially as I have a ice cream machine, too (just haven't used it much for anything but a certain version of frozen margaritas....)

*kitty blink*

certain kinds of orange squash make a good substitute for pie pumpkin, better than, say, big carving pumpkins. Hopi is good and there's other sorts....I would have to look at my seed records to remember what sorts I've used.

oh i just love the fall squash and gourd varieties!!
so yummy!  

[ThisEmptySoul]

eh... I think I'll stick with my recipe and just try it with fresh pumpkin instead of canned. Dealing with ice cream in recipes is a hassle.  

[HavenneShadow]

gee, got busted over in the GGB after only one drink....wah!

kitty going on a hunt, though....make me one to go, bartender!  

[lady ayami chan]

fresh pumpkin is more tasty!
^_^
i liked using the ice cream because it keeps the pie from being runny.

*snaps out of trance* Huh?! Who dat?! Who der?! Oh! *clears throat and looks around* Sorry, I was in apple heaven there for a while...mmmmmmmmm....*shakes head and looks around again* Where is that blasted waiter with-*waiter appears with her breakfast order and disappears* Wow....*smiles and realizes how ravenous she's become and goes to work*

my pie is pretty firm. My brother and sister once tried to complain it was "too firm", but I think they were just trying to find something wrong with it because I made it without eggs. My parents certainly didn't complain.

I told my siblings that if they didn't like my pie, then they could go and make their own and I'll just have mine to myself... of course they ate mine without any further complaint after that.  

[lady ayami chan]

no eggs?
do you replace something for eggs or just leave them out?
 

[HavenneShadow]

without eggs? hmmmm.... did you post your recipe TES and I miss it?
I'm wondering what the pie has for a binder....but if it's a dense pie I guess I see how it holds together.
