Instructions

STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.

STEP 2 To prepare crust: Combine gingersnaps and raisins in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add oil and pulse until blended. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.

STEP 3 Bake the crust until set, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

STEP 4 To prepare filling: Take ice cream out of the refrigerator and leave at room temperature until soft. Combine pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a large bowl and mix well. Add ice cream and stir until blended. Spoon the mixture into the cooled pie crust. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. Let the pie soften slightly in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
