This indulgent Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie is the perfect dessert to enjoy any time of year, especially for those who love creamy ice cream paired with sweet cherries and decadent chocolate. With a crunchy crust and a rich ice cream filling, this pie is sure to impress family and friends!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional)

For the Ice Cream Filling:

  • 1 ½ quarts cherry ice cream, softened
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries, chopped (or fresh cherries if preferred)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (optional, for smoothness)

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Additional chocolate chips or shaved chocolate (optional)
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until fully combined.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie pan to form an even crust.
    • Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Ice Cream Filling:
    • While the crust cools, soften the cherry ice cream by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
    • In a bowl, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries into the softened ice cream.
    • If the ice cream seems too thick, you can add heavy cream to smooth it out.
  3. Assemble the Pie:
    • Once the crust has cooled, spoon the cherry chocolate chip ice cream mixture into the pie crust. Spread it out evenly to fill the crust.
    • Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
  4. Serve:
    • Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream, extra chocolate chips or shaved chocolate, and a maraschino cherry for garnish.
    • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use fresh cherries for a more natural flavor or opt for maraschino cherries for a sweeter twist.
  • If you want to make the pie extra decadent, you can add a drizzle of hot fudge or chocolate sauce on top when serving.
  • Make sure the ice cream is softened for easier mixing.
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes (plus freezing time)
