Description
This delightful Ice Cream Pie features alternating layers of caramel and fudge brownie ice cream nestled in a graham cracker crust. Easy to assemble and perfect for warm days, this frozen dessert can be customized with your favorite toppings for a truly indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Base
- 1 graham cracker crust
Ice Cream Layers
- 36 ounces caramel ice cream (slightly softened)
- 36 ounces fudge brownie ice cream (slightly softened)
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare: Remove the plastic lid from the graham cracker crust carefully, keeping it aside for later use.
- Fill: Using a spoon, scoop the caramel ice cream into the crust, placing scoops in a circular pattern. Alternate with scoops of fudge brownie ice cream right next to the caramel, continuing the alternating pattern around the crust and filling the center last. Use the back of the spoon to gently press the scoops down to pack them slightly.
- Layer: Repeat the alternating scoop pattern to create a second layer of ice cream on top of the first.
- Shape: Place the reserved plastic lid over the ice cream layers and press gently but firmly to compress and shape the pie evenly.
- Freeze: Transfer the pie to the freezer and chill it until fully hardened, ideally for at least 1 hour. Be careful during assembly not to let the ice cream soften too much to avoid ice crystal formation when refrozen.
- Serve: Once the pie is firm, slice into large wedges. Optionally, top each slice with whipped cream and drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over for extra indulgence. Place any leftovers back in the freezer.
Notes
- For best results, slightly soften ice cream before scooping to make the layering easier but avoid melting.
- Choose toppings like nuts, sprinkles, or fresh fruits to customize your pie further.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slicing.
