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!! Since we have a number of December birthdays including hers, she insists I make this every year! "Cook" time is freezer time (although just suggested, I made mine and froze overnight). **This really CAN be modified with your favorite flavor ice cream and garnished accordingly to suit the Holiday or event. ;) Egg Nog ice cream with crushed snickerdoodles, pumpkin ice cream at Thanksgiving with candied pecans and light caramel garnish, a nice peach or berry ice cream in spring or summer with fresh berries and drizzled white chocolate or caramel. Combinations are endless.....

Ingredients For easy peppermint ice cream pie

  • 2 lg
    graham cracker pie crust, ready made (i do 1 regular and 1 chocolate, a keebler and an oreo)
  • 1 3/4 qt
    dreyer's grand limited edition peppermint ice cream, softened (1 container)
  • 16 oz
    cool whip topping
  • candy cane roca, chocolate sauce, etc (garnish as desired)

How To Make easy peppermint ice cream pie

  • 1
    Soften ice cream on counter until "workable" (soft enough to stir in Cool Whip but not too liquid).
  • 2
    Mix in full tub of Cool Whip- do not over blend as Cool Whip will become runny.
  • 3
    Scoop half of mixture into each of 2 pie crusts.
  • 4
    Smooth evenly in crust.
  • 5
    Cover with lid, if available, or wrap.
  • 6
    Place in freezer for at least 2 hours. (Could be less, I don't know as I always do ahead and leave them overnight).
  • 7
    Prior to serving, remove cover and smooth any voids (a slightly warm spoon run under warm water works well).
  • 8
    Garnish with crushed candy cane or starlight mints, chocolate curls, peppermint bark, chocolate sauce, or crushed Candy Cane Roca - my favorite.

    Enjoy! :)
