Directions

Spread half batter (2¼ cups) in bottom of each prepared pan.

Do NOT spread up sides of pan.

Bake at 3500F for 25 to 30 minutes; DO NOT OVERBAKE.

Crusts should collapse to form pie shells.

Cool completely before filling.

In a large bowl, blend softened ice cream until smooth.

Divide and spread evenly in center of pie shells leaving a ½ inch rim.

If desired, drop spoonfulls of ice cream topping on top, swirl with a knife.

Freeze pies at least 2 hours before serving.

Store in freezer.

Once pies are frozen, wrap airtight to avoid freezer burn.
