All the mouthwatering recipes in our series “The Main Ingredient” have one thing in common: They all contain cookies. This recipe for ice cream pie comes from Kaili Reveles of KabesBakes.com. Cheryl’s new buttercream frosted cookie dough cookies serve as the base for this dessert that will quickly become a family favorite.
Ice cream pie is a great dessert idea for not only summer but any occasion. It’s refreshing and cool for those hotter days, and is a welcome treat any other time of year, too.
This simple and easy ice cream pie can be prepped and frozen overnight. For the base of this pie (the “crust”), I used the delicious and new Cheryl’s Cookies Buttercream Frosted Cookie Dough cookies. They make a perfect crust for this pie and make this already simple recipe that much easier to put together!
One of the best things about this concoction is how easy it is to alter the flavor by bringing in different ingredients. Try using fresh fruit, or even other candies, to add even more fun to this pie!
