Description

This Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie is a delightful no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust, creamy cherry and vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate chips and cherries, topped optionally with chocolate fudge sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. Perfectly refreshing and rich, it’s an easy-to-make treat that’s sure to impress at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Ice Cream Filling

  • 2 cups cherry ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped cherries (fresh or maraschino)

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce (for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Extra maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
  2. Form and Bake the Crust: Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Ice Cream Filling: In a separate bowl, gently stir together the softened cherry ice cream, vanilla ice cream, mini chocolate chips, and chopped cherries until the additions are evenly incorporated.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the ice cream filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, drizzle chocolate fudge sauce over the top for added richness.
  5. Freeze: Place the assembled pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and set sufficiently to slice cleanly.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove the pie from the freezer, slice into portions, and garnish each slice with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and extra maraschino cherries if desired. Serve immediately for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • For best results, soften the ice creams slightly at room temperature before mixing to achieve easy blending.
  • The crust can be prepared a day ahead and kept tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
  • Use fresh cherries for a less sweet, more natural flavor or maraschino cherries for a classic taste.
  • The pie should be stored in the freezer until serving to maintain its shape and texture.
  • Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.
