Ice Cream Pie

Chillin'


 

 

 

 

 Ice Cream Pie
From the Kitchen of Linda Snyder
 

**1 Cup Chocolate Wafer Crumbs
1/4 Cup Butter, Softened

1 Package Gelatin (the flavor you buy depends on what color of pie you want to make)
1/2 Cup Boiling Water
1 Pint Vanilla Ice Cream

Combine crumbs and softened butter. Mix together well. Press against bottom and sides of an 8 inch pie plate. Empty gelatin into a bowl. Add boiling water and stir to dissolve. Stir in the ice cream a few spoonfuls at a time, beating vigorously as it thickens. Put the mixture into the crumb crust pie plate and chill until serving time.

**You can also buy the chocolate crumb crust already made in the baking aisle of your store to save time.


Here's a slice of the pie. I made 4 of them yesterday and had a slice last night. Yumm!!
 

If making this for St. Patrick's Day like I do you can also make chocolate shamrocks to put on each piece. Here is the recipe to make those:

 

Chocolate Shamrocks

Melt 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips over hot water. (Like a double boiler). After chocolate is all melted spread evenly onto a sheet of wax paper. Let cool until firm. Press a lightly oiled shamrock shaped cookie cutter sharply into the chocolate. Leave the shamrocks on the wax paper and refrigerate until ready to use.

 

 

Over the past several years for St. Patrick's Day...our family always celebrates it in a different type of way. We have a "Progressive Dinner". You might wonder what that is...so I will explain how it works.

I have 2 sisters and my mom. We start at one of our houses. For an example:

We go to my sister, Karen and her families home first. She will serve snacks. Like vegetable tray, chips, dips etc.

Next we go to my Mom's for salad. Then we all load up and head to my sister Melodie's for the main meal. She usually makes Corned Beef and Cabbage and Homemade Mashed Potatoes. We then will usually end at my place for my Ice Cream Pie that I make with lime Jell-O so the pie is green. Each home we will sit and visit for a bit before heading to the next house. This allows our stomachs to digest a bit and be ready for the next meal. It is a lot of fun and have done it with other holidays also.

We won't be doing it this year though since my mom has lung cancer surgery the day before St. Patrick's Day. I would appreciate your prayers for her.
