Ingredients Needed

Crust:

  • 16 full graham crackers (about 2 1/2 cups crumbs)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted (5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon)

Filling:

  • 2 pints vanilla ice cream (4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)
  • 4 peanut butter cups (e.g., Reese’s), roughly chopped
  • 2 large Butterfinger bars, roughly chopped
  • Jarred caramel or hot fudge sauce, for drizzling

How To Make Ice Cream Pie​

  1. Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Combine crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly mixed. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, packing it firmly. Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool completely.
  2. Prepare the filling: Stir vanilla ice cream in a large bowl until smooth but still firm. Fold in the chopped pecans, peanut butter cups, and Butterfinger pieces until well combined.
  3. Assemble the pie: Spoon the ice cream mixture into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Freeze for 2-3 hours, or until fully set.
  4. Serve: Warm a knife under hot water, dry it, and use it to cut neat slices. Drizzle with caramel or hot fudge sauce and sprinkle with extra pecans before serving.

Recipe Tips

  • Let the Ice Cream Soften: Before mixing, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. This makes it easier to stir and mix with the other ingredients.
  • Use a Firm Crust: Make sure to press the graham cracker crust firmly into the pie plate, so it holds together when slicing. A soft crust can cause the pie to fall apart.
  • Freeze Long Enough: Let the pie freeze for at least 3 hours to ensure the filling sets properly. If it’s not frozen long enough, the pie will be too soft and messy when cutting.
  • Warm the Knife for Slicing: Run a knife under hot water before slicing the pie. This helps create clean cuts, making it look neat when serving.
  • Customize the Toppings: Don’t be afraid to get creative with the toppings. You can add chocolate chips, marshmallows, or even drizzle with caramel sauce for extra flavor!

How To Store Leftovers

  • Refrigerate: Cover leftovers  ice cream pie​ tightly with plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Store leftovers  ice cream pie in the freezer for up to a week. Make sure it’s well-covered to prevent freezer burn. To serve, let it thaw in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes before slicing.
