Description

Ice Cream Pie is a delicious and refreshing no-bake dessert with a crunchy graham cracker crust, creamy ice cream filling, whipped cream topping, and fun toppings.

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10–12 graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the filling:
  • 1 1/2 quarts ice cream (any flavor of your choice—vanilla, chocolate, cookies & cream, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce (or other topping of choice, like caramel or strawberry sauce)
  • For the topping:
  • 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Sprinkles or other toppings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, making sure the crust is even and firmly packed. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  3. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften, making it easier to spread. Once the crust is cooled, spread the softened ice cream evenly over the crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the ice cream and spread it out evenly.
  4. Spread whipped cream on top of the ice cream layer. You can also pipe it decoratively for a fancier presentation.
  5. Sprinkle chocolate chips, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or any desired toppings on top of the whipped cream.
  6. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to firm up.
  7. When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For the crust, you can substitute graham crackers with Oreos, chocolate wafer cookies, or a store-bought cookie crust.Get creative with your ice cream flavor choices, such as chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, or even coffee flavor.This recipe can easily be made vegan by using dairy-free ice cream and a non-dairy whipped topping.For an extra indulgent dessert, top the pie with melted chocolate ganache instead of hot fudge sauce.Feel free to mix in candy pieces or crushed cookies before freezing the pie to add texture and fun flavors.
