This Easy Ice Cream Pie is one of those recipes you will remember forever without needing to reference a recipe ever again. It is truly THAT SIMPLE. It is a kid friendly summer dessert and a recipe they can even help out making. This recipe references only one of MANY MANY varieties that you can make. In the notes section we included a few other flavor combos. Although the prep time seems long, it is because of the defrosting and freezing time, the physical preparation takes less than 5 minutes.
This recipe actually made us TWO pies, so if you follow the recipe, you can serve two, save one for your next ice cream craving or you can even put the extra mixture into a Tupperware and enjoy as a little customized ice cream treat.
- 1 carton Ice Cream, 1 - 1.5 QT (This recipe is using Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream)
- 1 tub (8oz) Frozen Whipped Topping (We use Cool Whip)
- Your Favorite Toppings (We used chopped Oreos, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey's Syrup)
- 1 Graham Cracker Crust, store bought (We used Keebler's Oreo Crust)
-
Soften the ice cream and frozen whipped topping to room temperature so it is easy enough to mix.
-
Once ice cream is soft, mix with cool whip and your favorite toppings. Pour into crust
-
Top with extra toppings of your choice and freeze for about 1-2 hours. Serve frozen.

*Important Note: THIS CAN BE A 3 INGREDIENT PIE! If you find an ice-cream you already love you can combine the Ice Cream and Cool Whip and Pour into Crust.
How to Soften Ice Cream: It takes about 20-30 minutes if left out on the counter. You can also defrost in the refrigerator if you have more time or in the microwave if you are short on time! In the microwave, we recommend starting at 30 second increments at 50% power.
