Best Layered Ice Cream Pie Recipes

KING OF THE RANCH ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Scoop the chocolate ice cream into the chocolate graham pie shell and spread into an even layer.
• Scatter half the pecans over the ice cream and drizzle over half of the caramel and chocolate sauces. Place in the freezer to harden for a couple hours. Place the drained cherries on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer alongside the pie.
• Remove the pie from the freezer and spread the dulce de leche ice cream over the top, smoothing the surface. Add the remaining pecans and drizzle the remaining caramel and chocolate sauces, in thin crisscrossing lines, over the top of the pie, making sure not to cover it completely. Squirt about 16 small mounds of whipped cream around the circumference of the pie. Place a frozen cherry on each mound of whipped cream. Transfer to the freezer to harden, 2 to 3 hours minimum. (Can be made up to a week in advance, just cover tightly once it has hardened.)
• When ready to serve, use a warm knife to cut into neat slices. Enjoy.

LAYERED ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the cookie crumbs and butter and mix well. Firmly and evenly press the mixture over the bottom of a 3-inch-deep 10-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, until it's no longer warm to the touch.
• Spread the caramel sauce over the cooled crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Freeze for about 30 to 60 minutes, until set.
• Spread the chocolate ice cream over the caramel sauce in an even layer, then freeze for about for 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. (Freezing time depends on the quality of the ice cream and the freezer temperature.)
• Combine the vanilla ice cream and crushed candy bars. Spread over the chocolate ice cream in an even layer, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
• Spread a thin layer of chocolate sauce evenly over the vanilla ice cream, then freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm.
• Spread the coffee ice cream over the chocolate sauce in an even layer, then return to the freezer for about 30 to 60 minutes, until firm. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours before slicing.
• Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving. Remove the springform pan sides, and slice into 12 wedges. If you like, serve additional caramel and chocolate sauce on the side.
• Time Management Advice from Pie Tester Kate Antea
• This pie will take about 4 hours to make. While one layer is freezing, the next ice cream is out softening, and a sauce can be made and cooled. My suggestion is to start by making the caramel sauce (which can be done a day ahead). While the sauce cools, make the crust. While the caramel is freezing, take the chocolate ice cream out to soften. When the chocolate layer goes in to freeze, take out the vanilla ice cream to soften and chop the candy bars. When the vanilla layer goes in to freeze, make and cool the chocolate sauce. When the chocolate sauce layer goes in to freeze, take out the coffee ice cream to soften.
