Pie week continues . . . and the picture here is the pie I made this year for Easter. But todays is
MELIA'S ICE CREAM PIE
1 pint ice cream (any flavor you love)
2 squares Baker's semi-sweet chocolate
1/4 cup butter (1/2 cube)
2 cups rice krispies
Melt butter and 1 1/2 squares of the chocolate together. Mix with rice krispies and pat into pie plate. Put it in the freezer until firm. Pat softened ice cream over the rice krispie crust. Use 1/2 square shaved chocolate on top. Put back in freezer.(I usually double this recipe and make it in a 9x13 inch pan.) This is delicious with whipped cream on top.
Melia and I have travelled the world together in ministry with our families. We have eaten in many fun restaurants, but we both love a good homecooked meal. Melia doesn't love cooking every single day but she has many specialities that I love.
This ice cream pie is a favorite of our family and we make it every year for Christmas day. It works so well for us, because Jenny is allergic to wheat and she can have this crust. She is also allergic to sugar, so I make a special one for her with sugarfree icecream.
This sounds great! Thanks for sharing. I actually have everything to make this. Maybe I will surprise my family and make this for dessert tonight :)
ReplyDeleteYum! My boys love ice cream, so I'll be making this one soon! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAngela and Sara, You will love how easy and how delicious this pie is. Enjoy! Wish I could sit in each of your kitchens and enjoy it with you.
ReplyDeleteSO love this recipe! We've shared so much good food over the years! :)
ReplyDeleteThis recipe started with my friend Kristi's mom, Helen. She would have one waiting for us often after school. Kristi makes it for Christmas with peppermint ice cream, and she made me a delicious one with coffee ice cream when I visited her in CA. I made this the day before Alex's birthday one time and he and I sat down in the kitchen and demolished the entire thing all by ourselves in one sitting. This pie is dangerous :).
ReplyDeleteWe sure have Megan, your mom's potato salad tops my list.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Melia, this pie is dangerous. It is so delicious. (Thanks, Helen.)
Yuuuuuum!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! Dao asked for an ice cream cake for his birthday, and I was going to make it with an oreo crust, but if I make this one my Dad can eat it too - he's can't have gluten. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteJenny ~ make you long for Christmas Day, eh?
ReplyDeleteBeth ~ I love this recipe, too, for its adaptability to special food needs. Happy Birthday to Dao.
