This recipe idea originated when my daughter-in-law, Amy, mentioned an ice cream blend she had created. It happened at Eskamo's Frozen Custard shop in Monroe, LA. It's a place our family frequents for a quick treat to enjoy during the hour-long journey back to Hamburg.

In their small, drive-through-style building, they serve delicious, homemade custard ice cream. So good! If you're ever in the area, I recommend stopping by to try one of their many flavors and create your own custom concretes, twisters, sundaes, and more.

Amy's flavor choices that day were vanilla ice cream, marshmallow cream, and milk chocolate toffee bits. Yum! Those words stirred a delicious idea in me that went from my ears to my taste buds. I needed a quick and easy dessert that night, so I thought, "This sounds like an awesome idea for a pie. An ice cream pie!"

If the pie was a flop, I promised my family No-Bake Cookies (aka, Brownie Nuggets). They cheered because it's one of their favorite treats, and easy for me to make. But I didn't have to bother since the pie was so satisfying.

Ingredients

I thank God for prepared pie crusts, don't you? There's no baking involved here, so it's fitting for summertime or whenever you don't want to heat up the kitchen. And anything that begins with chocolate is a good thing. 

Here are the simple ingredients:

• Prepare a chocolate graham cracker or cookie pie crust
• Vanilla ice cream
• Marshmallow cream
• Milk chocolate toffee bits
• Heavy whipping cream 
• Powdered sugar
• Toffee bits for garnish

The specific ingredient amounts and nutritional information are in the recipe card below.

Instructions

When I returned home, I blended these items in a blender, ensuring the marshmallow cream was evenly distributed throughout the mixture. I then poured the mixture into a prepared pie shell, and voilà, the dessert is prepared! Then I stuck the pie in the freezer and hoped everyone would like it.

Here's the specific instructions:

1. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for 15 minutes.
2. Use measured amounts of ice cream; more than 3 cups will overflow the pie shell.
3. Place the ice cream into a blender and add the marshmallow cream and toffee bits. Blend until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into the pie shell, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 3 hours.
5. Beat whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
6. Remove the pie from the freezer, top with whipped cream, and garnish with about ¼ cup toffee bits, or more to your liking.
7. Let the pie rest at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

HINT: Also, you don't want the ice cream to melt before you blend your pie ingredients, nor do you want to over-blend. That will give you a flatter pie with less volume.

Top Tip

Ensure the ice cream is softened for the best results in the pie. Ten to fifteen minutes at room temperature will usually suffice. If the ice cream is too hard, you could burn up your blender (or mixer, or immersion blender), as I almost did. (True, very true!)

Substitutions

• You can use either a chocolate cookie or a chocolate graham cracker crust. I've used both, but I find the cookie crust has more chocolate flavor.
• A light ice cream works well in this ice cream pie recipe.

Variartions

• You can make your own ice cream pies with any ice cream flavor and add-ins to enhance the treat. Think of what you could do with chocolate, strawberry, or coffee-flavored ice cream! I made one with crumbled Oreo cookies and vanilla ice cream. Delicious!
• Top the pie with chocolate or caramel sauce to garnish just before serving. Delightful!

Storage

Keep the pie in the freezer. Don't leave it on the counter for long while serving. This pie keeps well covered in the freezer for up to one month.
