Prepared Graham Cracker Crust 1/2 Gallon of ice cream 1 can or jar of ice cream topping 1
Pint of Whipped Cream Garnishes of your choice (Maraschino cherries, small candies, mini Oreos, nuts or fruits)
First, you need a graham cracker crust -- regular or chocolate your preference! You can buy them already made or you
can make your own with just a pack of graham crackers (crush in a blender, food processor or put in a zip lock bag and smash
them with a rolling pin!), 1/4 C sugar and 3 TBS melted butter or margerine stirred together with a fork and gently pressed
into a pie pan). Spread a thin layer of ice cream topping in the bottom of the crust and freeze till firm.
Let your 1/2 gallon of ice cream start to melt so that it's just soupy around the edges, not thawed clear out.
At that point, put it into a large mixing bowl and stir it up. It should be spreadable at this point. Spread it into the pie
crust and return it to the freezer and let it get very hard. Top with more of your ice cream topping, whipped
cream and whatever garnishes you chose. Some great combinations: * Chocolate crumb crust, fudge
topping, Cookies N Cream ice cream, more fudge topping, whipped cream and Mini Oreos; * Chocolate crumb crust,
fudge topping, Peanut Butter ice cream, more fudge topping, whipped cream and Mini Reeses cups or Reeses pieces;
* Chocolate crumb crust, fudge topping, chocolate, vanilla, mint or coffee ice cream, more fudge topping, whipped cream
and M&Ms or Chocolate chips; * Chocolate crumb crust, fudge topping, vanilla ice cream, more fudge topping,
whipped cream and snow caps; * Regular graham cracker crust, strawberry topping, vanilla or strawberry ice cream,
more strawberry topping, whipped cream and strawberries; * Chocolate crumb crust, fudge topping, Cherry Cordial
ice cream, more fudge topping, whipped cream and maraschino cherries; * Regular graham cracker crust, raspberry
topping, vanilla ice cream or peach ice cream, fudge topping, whipped cream and raspberries; * Regular graham
cracker crust, pineapple topping, vanilla ice cream or pineapple sherbet, more pineapple topping, whipped cream and pineapple
pieces; * Chocolate crumb crust, caramel topping, chocolate ice cream, caramel and fudge toppings, whipped cream
and Rollo candies sprinkle this one with pecans for a turtle sundae pie; You can also combine ice cream flavors
if you have time to first add the bottom layer and freeze hard before adding the second flavor this would also give you the
chance to add more topping into the center. Be sure to serve your ice cream pie straight from the freezer and
dont forget that if you REALLY want to impress your guests, you can drizzle a little of whichever syrup you used on the dessert
plates!
