Join me as we embark on a journey of sweet indulgence with this simple and delicious Ice Cream Pie recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups rice crispy cereal
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup butter
• Ice cream of your choice (I used rocky road)
• Toppings of your choice (I used chocolate, caramel, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries)

Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 to 40 seconds. Stir until the mixture is completely melted and well combined.

Add the rice crispy cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and mix thoroughly to coat the cereal evenly. The resulting mixture will provide a delicious and crispy base for your Ice Cream Pie.

Butter a pie dish to prevent sticking. Pour the cereal and chocolate mixture into the dish and press it onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust-like layer. The mixture should be compacted to create a sturdy base for the ice cream.

Place the pie dish in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes, or until the crust is firm and set. This chilling step helps the crust to hold its shape and ensures a stable foundation for the ice cream and toppings.

For the Ice Cream

Once the crust is chilled, remove it from the freezer and scoop your desired flavor of ice cream onto the crust. Spread it evenly, allowing the ice cream to fill the entire pie dish.

Now comes the fun part—adding your favorite toppings! Get creative and let your taste preferences guide you. I personally opted for a drizzle of chocolate and caramel sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, and a finishing touch of vibrant maraschino cherries. However, feel free to explore a wide range of toppings such as nuts, sprinkles, cookie crumbs, or fresh fruit.

After adding your desired toppings, return the Ice Cream Pie to the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the ice cream is firm and holds its shape.

When you’re ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Slice into generous portions, and watch as your loved ones’ eyes light up with anticipation.

In Conclusion:

Grandma Bell’s Ice Cream Pie is a versatile dessert that sparks joy and indulgence.
