Ice Cream Pie


This is my mother's recipe.  It was quite special back in the days when you couldn't buy fancy ice cream flavors in the grocery store.  I have these amazingly fond memories of eating this pie as a child.  I made it for Easter, for my children - adults now - and we all loved it.  So here it is for you, my friend.



Makes 2 pies

½ gal. vanilla ice cream, softened
1 box Nilla wafers
1  large  bag chocolate chips
2 Cups evaporated milk
2 Cups miniature marshmallows

Line pie plates with Nilla wafers as pictured.  Melt chocolate chips with evap. milk and miniature marshmallows until a bit thickened. Cool a bit before pouring over ice cream.  Scoop a thin layer of ice cream over cookies.  Pour some hot chocolate syrup over it – swirl it.  Repeat layers.

uh-oh you forgot the evaporated milk and miniature marshmallows!
You melt in a pan 2 C. evap. milk, 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips and 2 C. miniature marshmallows until a bit thickened. Cool a bit before pouring over ice cream. Don't forget one layer ice cream, one layer choc. and repeat!
