Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream Pie

by Jamie

I love a good ice cream pie. They are so easy to put together and make a fun finish to any meal.  I made this cherry chocolate version a couple of weeks ago when I had my parents over for dinner. My day is a big cherry chocolate fan, so I thought it would be appropriate. He loved it! 🙂 Mission accomplished. I love to put a smile on that mans face, I really do.

Here’s what you should know about this pie…

Creamy Chocolate Ice Cream is mixed with chopped maraschino cherries and maraschino cherry juice  and then spread over a fabulous Oreo crust. Cool whip is spread over the top and the whole pie is frozen until nice and firm. Hot fudge is drizzled over the top when served.

Yum!

Hope all of you cherry-chocolate-lovers out there make it and love it!

1. Set the container of chocolate ice cream on the counter to thaw while you make the chocolate crust.
2. Grab some Oreo cookies.

Toss 26 into your blender and crush them up into fine crumbs. You’ll need 2 cups of crumbs total.

3. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Remove the blade from your blender and pour the melted butter in. Stir it with a spoon to combine. I haven’t had a lot of luck using the blade of the blender to incorporate the butter. Best to just take it out and stir it with a spoon. 🙂

4. Pour the crumbs into a 9 inch-deep dish pie plate.

Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs to the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish.

6. Pour the juice from one jar of maraschino cherries into a glass measuring cup.

Pour the cherries onto a plate or cutting board and give them a rough chop.

Enjoy!

This looks and sounds like a winner! My son loves chocolate cherry combinations. One quick question…how do you keep the plastic wrap from touching the top of the pie?

Debbie,
It will stick a little bit, but the frozen cool whip should stay in place for you once you remove the plastic wrap. Best of luck to you!
