Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Pie
This easy and delicious Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Pie is so delicious, with a chocolate-covered rice krispies crust, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and a topping of chocolate syrup.
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)
Notes
You can make a pretty design with chocolate syrup by making a spiral of syrup on top of the pie. Then, use a toothpick (or knife) to drag though the chocolate lines starting from the center and moving outward. You can alternate directions. Or, simple drizzle it on & enjoy! ;0)
To create chocolate curls, take a block of chocolate or chocolate bar at room temp, and use a potato/carrot peeler to skim the side and create curls. There is a little trial and error here. If the chocolate splinters, just warm it slightly in a warm place on the counter, or even just hold it for a minute or two. We freeze our curls for just a few minutes to firm them up before placing on the pie.
