Description

This Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie is a delightful frozen dessert featuring a crispy graham cracker crust filled with layers of cherry and vanilla ice cream mixed with mini chocolate chips and fresh cherries. Topped with optional chocolate fudge sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings, this no-bake pie is perfect for a refreshing treat during warm weather or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Ice Cream Filling

  • 2 cups cherry ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped cherries (fresh or maraschino)

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce (for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Extra maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is evenly moistened.
  2. Form and Bake the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create the crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Ice Cream Filling: In a separate bowl, soften cherry ice cream and vanilla ice cream slightly to a spreadable consistency. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and chopped cherries until evenly combined.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spread the ice cream mixture evenly into the cooled graham cracker crust. Optionally, drizzle chocolate fudge sauce over the top for added richness.
  5. Freeze the Pie: Place the pie in the freezer and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and set.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and extra maraschino cherries. Slice and enjoy your delicious Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie!

Notes

  • For best results, soften the ice cream slightly at room temperature to make mixing and spreading easier.
  • The crust can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator if needed.
  • You can substitute fresh cherries for maraschino cherries depending on your preference.
  • Chocolate fudge sauce and whipped cream toppings are optional but add extra flavor and presentation appeal.
  • Freeze the pie properly to ensure it holds its shape when sliced.
