Easy Peppermint Ice Cream Pie image

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!! "Cook" time is freezer time (although just suggested, I made mine and froze overnight). **Update: As suggested by a reviewer - this really CAN be modified with your favorite flavor ice cream and garnished accordingly to suit the Holiday or event. ;)

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 pies

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 graham cracker pie crust, ready made (I do 1 regular and 1 chocolate, a Keebler and an Oreo)
1 3/4 quarts dreyer's grand limited edition peppermint ice cream, softened (1 container)
16 ounces Cool Whip Topping

Steps:

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