Ingredients for Ice Cream Pie
- Ice cream. We used strawberry cheesecake ice cream from Target, which paired perfectly with the fresh fruit.
- Crust. The Good & Gather Graham Cracker crust is just the right amount of light and sweet. And really: what’s a cheese cake-inspired pie without its graham crackers?
- Sauce. Chocolate sauce makes everything better. It adds the perfect amount of richness to seal the deal on this ice cream pie.
- Toppings & add in’s. Strawberries, cherries, and raspberries all create a stunning presentation. But you can feel free to add any fruit of your liking. Additionally, graham cracker crumbles or pistachios will make a pretty addition to your pie.
How to Make Ice Cream Pie
- Choose your crust. Store-bought or homemade, a good graham cracker crust is essential to this ice cream pie.
- Add the ice cream. Allow your ice cream to soften slightly before adding to your crust. Layer to the top of your crust and smooth out with a spoon.
- Let freeze. Place your pie in the freezer and let it harden. This is crucial in keeping the pie together, especially in the summer heat!
- Top with add in’s & sauce. Once your pie has hardened, it’s ready to be decorated with all of your delicious toppings!
