easy peppermint ice cream pie
(4 ratings)
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.....

How To Make easy peppermint ice cream pie
-
1Soften ice cream on counter until "workable" (soft enough to stir in Cool Whip but not too liquid).
-
2Mix in full tub of Cool Whip- do not over blend as Cool Whip will become runny.
-
3Scoop half of mixture into each of 2 pie crusts.
-
4Smooth evenly in crust.
-
5Cover with lid, if available, or wrap.
-
6Place in freezer for at least 2 hours. (Could be less, I don't know as I always do ahead and leave them overnight).
-
7Prior to serving, remove cover and smooth any voids (a slightly warm spoon run under warm water works well).
-
8Garnish with crushed candy cane or starlight mints, chocolate curls, peppermint bark, chocolate sauce, or crushed Candy Cane Roca - my favorite.
-
9Enjoy! :)
