For a more intense flavor, toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Let them cool completely before chopping. Substitute gingersnaps for the vanilla wafers for an extra layer of spice. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the pumpkin mixture with an immersion blender before adding the ice cream. To make individual servings, layer the ice cream and wafers in small glasses or ramekins.
