How to Make Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Pie
You can find our full recipe below, but sometimes it helps to see the photos! Here’s a peek at how we put it all together.
- First, we made the chocolate Rice Krispies crust. After melting the butter and chocolate chips in saucepan, we poured it into a bowl of our rice cereal and mixed to coat it.
- Next, we pressed it into a lightly greased 9 inch pie plate and allowed it to cool.
- While it’s cooling, you can bring out the ice cream and allow it to soften.
- When ready, spread the softened (not melted) mint chocolate chip ice cream into the cooled crust. Freeze until firm (3-4 hours or overnight).
- Before serving, we decorated ours with chocolate syrup and chocolate curls. You can top with a dollop of whipped cream if you’d like!
*A drizzle of chocolate syrup is all that it needs, but we made ours extra fancy by topping with a spiral of chocolate syrup.
Then, we lightly pulled a toothpick through the spiral of chocolate to create a pattern all the way around. (You can start in the center and move toward the edge, or alternate as we did.)
To create chocolate curls, we ran a vegetable peeler down the side of a chocolate bar. This works best with the chocolate bar is at room temp (or even slightly warmer).
So pretty!
Honestly, no matter how you decorate it, you are going to love this pie. Make it for your next dessert!

Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Pie
Ingredients
- ¾ cup chocolate chips (140g)(we used semi-sweet)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups Rice Krispies (57g)
- 1 quart Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, softened
Decoration/Topping
- A Drizzle of chocolate syrup
- whipped cream or whipped topping
- A block or bar of chocolate for curls (if you're feeling fancy)
Instructions
For the Crust
- Combine chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan. Cook over low heat just until melted, stirring slowly to combine.
- Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the Rice Krispies into a medium sized bowl, and gradually pour the melted chocolate over it, scraping the sides of the saucepan with a rubber spatula as needed. Stir until the cereal is well coated with chocolate.
- Press the chocolate cereal mixture evenly into a lightly greased 9 inch pie plate. Let cool completely.
Ice Cream Filling and Decoration
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow to soften so that it is easily spreadable (but not melted). If you're in a hurry, scooping it into a large bowl and giving a stir/mash with a spatula or heated spoon will move things along more quickly.
- Spread the ice cream into the crust-filled pie plate and freeze until firm.
- Top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and top with whipped cream- we used chocolate curls also. (See notes for more details)
