Icecream Journal

First of all, we’d like to thank all of our new readers who stopped by the Ice Cream Journal during National Ice Cream Month (which ends this weekend, unfortunately). Our ice cream community grew a lot this month and we hope to see more of everyone in the future through your comments and input! And now, on with the recipe…

There were so many fantastic recipes submitted during last year’s holiday recipe contest that we just had to feature a few of them here on the Ice Cream Journal many months later. But instead of using Egg Nog or Peppermint Stick ice cream (as the holiday recipe contest rules dictated), we’re using different flavors in these reincarnations.

This one was sent to us by Naomi L. and was called “Mint Lovers Dream Pie” (with Peppermint Stick ice cream). We’re substituting Choco Mint Chip ice cream and calling it…(are you ready?)…”Mint Lovers Dream Pie.” It’s hard work being this creative.

By the way, the photo below is not a photo of the product of this recipe, but it’s close and it looks good, so we went with it anyhow. Enjoy!

MINT LOVERS DREAM PIE

INGREDIENTS

1 chocolate cookie ready made pie crust
1 tub Turkey Hill Choco Mint Chip ice cream
1 jar dark chocolate with mint ice cream topping (just chocolate topping will do too)
1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips
1 8-ounce tub of whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

Soften ice cream so it will spread. Place half ice cream into pie crust. Stir 1 cup chocolate chips into other half of ice cream. Spread chocolate/mint syrup topping over ice cream and place in freezer until solid (30 minutes to 1 hour). Spread other half of ice cream/choco chip mixture into half filled crust. Spread whipped cream over that and sprinkle with 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips. Freeze pie for several hours until frozen solid. Enjoy!!
