If you are in a pinch for a really super easy dessert then ice cream pie is the answer.
This time of the year we always have some in our freezer.
Mostly for my daughter my husband and I don’t indulge in this very much.
All you need is a pre-made graham cracker crust pie shell and a container of ice cream.
First let the ice cream soften a bit.But don’t let it melt.You want it to be softened enough to spread easily in the pie shell but not to a liquid form.
I add it to a bowl and mix it just slightly.
Then start to spread it in the pie shell with a spoon.
Next use a frosting spatula to spread it around evenly.Do this quickly as it is melting quickly.
Don’t throw that lid away that came with the pie.You can now turn it over and use it as a cover for the pie.
Stick it back into the freezer for at least an hour.
When you are ready to serve you can top it with some whip cream and add any topping you would like.A little drizzle of caramel or fudge would be tasty too!
That’s it super easy!

That looks delicious! Having owned a Dairy Queen for 20 years I like to make blizzard pies. Same idea–just get a couple blizzards and put them in a graham cracker pie crust…delicious!
