Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 14 whole crackers)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 can (15 ounces) sweet potatoes, drained

  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  2. Place sweet potatoes, brown sugar, pie spice, orange zest and salt in a food processor; process until smooth. Add ice cream; process until blended. Spread evenly into crust. Freeze, covered, 8 hours or overnight.
