Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chip ice cream
- 2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup cereal (like crispy rice or cornflakes)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pie Plate: Start by lightly coating the bottom and sides of an 8-inch pie plate with butter or vegetable oil. If you prefer, you can use spray oil like PAM to make this step a bit easier. This will help ensure that your pie comes out smoothly once it’s frozen.
-
Make the Chocolate Mixture: In a small microwavable bowl, combine the chocolate chips with syrup. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on HIGH (100% power) for about 45 seconds. The chocolate chips may still hold their shape even after heating, so be sure to stir the mixture until it’s smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup of this chocolate mixture for later.
-
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the remaining chocolate mixture with the cereal until all the cereal is well-coated with the chocolate. Press this chocolatey cereal mixture firmly over the bottom and sides of the prepared pie plate. This will form a crunchy and sweet crust for your pie. Place the pie plate in the freezer and let the crust firm up for about 15 minutes.
-
Layer the Ice Cream: Once the crust has set, take the pie plate out of the freezer. In a small bowl, mix the reserved chocolate mixture with the sour cream until well combined. Spread half of the mint chocolate chip ice cream into the prepared crust. Drizzle with half of the sour cream and chocolate mixture. Top with the remaining mint chocolate chip ice cream and drizzle the rest of the sour cream and chocolate mixture on top.
-
Freeze and Serve: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it back in the freezer. Let it freeze until firm, which should take about 1 hour. Once the pie is thoroughly frozen, cut into slices and serve.
Tip: To make slicing the pie easier, keep a small bowl or tall glass of hot water handy. Before cutting each slice, dip your knife into the hot water. This will help the knife glide smoothly through the ice cream, giving you clean, perfect slices.
This Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie is a sweet, refreshing treat that’s incredibly simple to whip up but so impressive to serve. Enjoy every bite of this creamy, crunchy delight! 🍦🍫🎉
