Prepare the Crust:
- Crush the Corn Flakes and set them aside.

Assemble the Pie:

-
Freeze and Serve:
- Freeze the pie for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, let the pie stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Notes:
- This Frosty Pumpkin Pie is a wonderful make-ahead dessert.
- You can prepare the crust and filling a day in advance and assemble the pie just before freezing.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- For an extra decadent twist, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache on top before freezing.
