Recipe Ingredients

• Strawberry ice cream
• Graham cracker crust
• Fresh strawberries
• Strawberry syrup

How to Make Strawberry Ice Cream Pie

Working quickly, scoop the ice cream into the pie crust. Freeze until firm (about two hours).

Just before serving, arrange the fresh strawberries over the ice cream and drizzle with syrup.

Storage

Tightly cover leftover pie to avoid freezer burn and store it in the freezer for up to a week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to just soften slightly.

Recipe Notes

• If you want to bake the graham cracker crust to give it a slightly deeper flavor you can do that too. Brush it with a beaten egg or egg whites and bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. But just remember to cool it thoroughly before putting the ice cream on it. 
• Want to add a little bit more deliciousness? Get some hot fudge sauce (microwave it for about 30 seconds to soften) and add a layer on top of the pie crust. Let it rest for a moment to harden slightly before adding the softened ice cream. The chocolate strawberry combo is to die for! Another option is to switch the strawberry syrup to chocolate sauce and to garnish the pie with chocolate shavings.
• I also won’t tell if you serve it with some whipped cream as well (here’s my homemade recipe). Alternatively, add a layer of Cool Whip on top of the ice cream before freezing. 
• Adapt this ice cream pie recipe to suit you. Maybe you want to skip the strawberry and use chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup instead? The choice is yours!
