For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust. Simply melt the butter and continue cooking until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before mixing with the gingersnaps. If you don't have gingersnaps, you can use graham crackers or any other crisp cookie. Adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. Make sure the ice cream is softened enough to spread easily, but not completely melted. Otherwise, it will create an icy layer in the pie. For a more intense pumpkin flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the pumpkin mixture.
