Notes

Recipe Tips.

Freeze Between Steps: Make sure the crust is fully cooled and frozen before adding ice cream.
Soften Ice Cream Slightly: Makes it easier to spread evenly.
Slice with Warm Knife: Run your knife under warm water for clean cuts.
Work Quickly: Ice cream melts fast, so assemble efficiently.
Variations: Top with mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, chopped candy bars, mini marshmallows, nuts, or drizzle on Caramel Sauce.

Store. Store this pie in the freezer since it’s ice cream-based. Cover with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 4–6 months. If not consuming the entire pie at once, add toppings to slices individually for best results.
