Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
Filling
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
Topping
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup chocolate shavings or curls

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
  2. In a large bowl, gently fold softened vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, and melted chocolate until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Pour the ice cream mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  5. Just before serving, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Spread the whipped cream over the frozen pie and sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier. Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Feel free to swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate, strawberry, or your favorite flavor!
