EASY PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM PIE

Just a quick pie I threw together in an attempt to recreate a "cake" served at the holidays by our local sports bar. One of my daughter's FAVORITES!! "Cook" time is freezer time (although just suggested, I made mine and froze overnight). **Update: As suggested by a reviewer - this really CAN be modified with your favorite flavor ice cream and garnished accordingly to suit the Holiday or event. ;)

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 pies

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 graham cracker pie crust, ready made (I do 1 regular and 1 chocolate, a Keebler and an Oreo)
1 3/4 quarts dreyer's grand limited edition peppermint ice cream, softened (1 container)
16 ounces Cool Whip Topping

Steps:

  • Soften ice cream on counter until "workable" (soft enough to stir in Cool Whip but not too liquid).
  • Mix in full tub of Cool Whip- do not over blend as Cool Whip will become runny.
  • Scoop half of mixture into each of 2 pie crusts.
  • Smooth evenly in crust.
  • Cover with lid, if available, or wrap.
  • Place in freezer for at least 2 hours. (Could be less, I don't know as I always do ahead and leave them overnight).
  • Prior to serving, remove cover and smooth any voids (a slightly warm spoon run under warm water works well).
  • Garnish with crushed candy cane or starlight mints, chocolate curls, peppermint bark crumbles, or crushed Candy Cane Roca - my favorite.
  • Enjoy! ;).

Tips:

  • Chill Your Ingredients: Make sure your cream, milk, and eggs are cold before you start making the ice cream. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't Overbeat the Ice Cream: Overbeating the ice cream will make it tough and grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the Ice Cream Base: After you have made the ice cream base, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help the flavors to develop and will make the ice cream easier to churn.
  • Churn the Ice Cream in a Frozen Bowl: If you have an ice cream maker with a built-in freezer bowl, make sure the bowl is completely frozen before you start churning the ice cream. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and evenly.
  • Freeze the Ice Cream Pie: Once you have transferred the ice cream to the pie crust, freeze it for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help the ice cream to set and will make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

This peppermint ice cream pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy peppermint filling, rich chocolate crust, and festive sprinkles, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
