Bake the Fudge Layer:
- Spread the fudge mixture evenly in the bottom of a crust-lined pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is shiny and the center is set. You may need to cover the edges with foil after 15 or 20 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Bake the Pie:
- Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cream cheese layer is set.
-
Cool and Chill:
- Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour.
- Once cooled, arrange strawberry halves, cut side down, over the cream cheese layer.
- Chill the pie for one hour, or until ready to serve.
-
Prepare the Fudge Topping:
- Just before serving, place the ice cream topping in a small microwave-safe dish.
- Microwave on defrost for 45 seconds.
- Spoon the warmed topping into a small resealable bag and seal it.
- Cut a small hole in the bottom corner of the bag.
-
Drizzle and Serve:
