This is a really good pumpkin pie that's different! I've experimented with many varieties and I like this one. My favorite is a no bake but can't find the recipe. Will post as soon as I find it! After trying that one, I said I would never go to the trouble to bake another one because it's just that good! I made a double layered one once and it was out of this world but a lot of trouble.
This recipe has ice cream in it and for that reason you may have a problem with the middle settling so I would just ensure you bake it long enough (according to your type oven) to get that middle part done. Test it with a toothpick or slice with a thin blade to check the middle.
