Scoop half of the ice cream into a bowl. Place in refrigerator 10 minutes to soften.
Fold 1 cup of the whipped topping and toffee bits into softened ice cream just until blended. Spread evenly over crust. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Place remaining ice cream in refrigerator 10 minutes to soften.
Meanwhile, mix pumpkin, brown sugar and spice blend in a bowl. Scoop softened ice cream into pumpkin mixture. Mix just until blended. Spread evenly over ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, about 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, place dessert in refrigerator 20 minutes for easier slicing.
Run a knife around outside of dessert; remove collar from Springform pan. Smooth sides with a spreader. Cut dessert into wedges. Garnish each serving with whipped topping and sprinkle with additional spice blend, if desired.
