Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

1
graham cracker crust, 9 or 10 inch
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tbsp. orange juice
2 tbsp. rum (optional)
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 egg whites
Soften
ice cream for a few minutes, and then spread evenly in
bottom of crust. Return to freezer while you prepare top
layer of filling. Combine pumpkin, sugar and spices in
a saucepan, and heat until sugar melts. Do not boil. Remove
from heat, stir in orange juice and rum, and refrigerate

pumpkin mixture. Pour on top of vanilla ice cream and
freeze. For ease of slicing, remove from freezer a few
minutes before serving, or dip pie pan quickly in hot
water.
