Pumpkin Sundae Pie with Regal Caramel Sauce

Over 30 years ago, we discovered our favorite Thanksgiving pie - Frosty Pumpkin Pie. However, one year when we visited my parents, we made my mom's version. There's not much difference between the two, but just in case you ever want to make both and do a taste comparison yourself, I figured I'd record her recipe. I'm not sure who gave it to her, but that doesn't matter; it's still part of our family heritage. (My guess is it either came from a cooking class she took or from a magazine.)

Spoon ice cream into the pie crust. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over the ice cream layer. Freeze until firm. Serve with Regal Caramel Sauce, garnishing with additional whipped cream if desired.
