RECIPE: CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR ICE CREAM PIE
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
This recipe is adapted from one submitted by Cheri F. of Sinking Spring, PA during last year’s holiday recipe contest. In Cheri’s recipe, it used Egg Nog ice cream, but we chose to feature it here because you can also use other flavors of ice cream (and it sounds like a great recipe!).
It’s also simple to make… and that’s always a good thing. If anyone makes this, let me know how it turned out! By the way, the photo below isn’t a picture of this exact recipe, but it is a multi-layered ice cream cake and similar to how this might turn out.
CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR ICE CREAM PIE
CRUMB CRUST INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS
(You can purchase a pre-made crust, but making your own is fun and easy.)
1 1/2 cups of fine crumbs from ground up graham crackers
6 tblsp melted butter (3/4 stick)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Mix all four ingredients and spread evenly in pie pan. Press firmly onto bottom and sides. Freeze for at least an hour before adding filling.
FILLING INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS
Pack approximately half a container of your favorite Turkey Hill ice cream flavor into the shell with the back of a large spoon (you may need to let the ice cream soften before doing this). Sprinkle half a cup of crushed vanilla wafer cookies (or any cookies, if you’d like) over the ice cream. Pack the remaining ice cream (perhaps a different flavor than the first) over the crushed cookies, mounding it in the center. Sprinkle lightly with more crushed cookies. Freeze for at least 2 hours prior to serving. When ready to serve, top with whipped cream if desired.

You don’t realize how much weird ice cream-related news there is until you start combing through the archives of the Internet for it. Not old stuff, either. I’m talking about recent weird news. As always, three of the stories below are 100 percent true and one was made up by the Turkey Hill team. Leave a comment with your guess about which is the frozen fake.
The following will be sent out via e-mail to our mailing list in a few days, but we thought we’d announce it here on the Ice Cream Journal to give you all a head start!
Good question, Janice. We’d all like to think it was chocolate chip cookie dough or Moose Tracks, but that’s not the case.
There’s a holiday coming up tomorrow, but I can’t remember what it is. Oh well. Last night was kind of strange in the neighborhood. Kids kept knocking on my door and asking for treats (or tricks, but I didn’t know any). And oddly enough, they were all dressed in costumes. At one point, two witches, a zombie and a Power Ranger paid a visit and they all seemed so enthusiastic that I finally dug through a drawer in my kitchen and found some tic tacs to give them. They didn’t seem pleased with that treat, but it was all I had.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
