2 hrsThis is the dessert you make when it’s too hot to turn on the oven.
Let vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt soften just enough to fold in chopped cherries, then spread the mixture into a store-bought chocolate cookie crust. Pop it in the freezer for at least 2 hours, and you’ve got a creamy, cherry-studded ice cream pie with a chocolatey crunch.
Garnish with extra chopped cherries and mini chocolate chips if you’re feeling fancy.
Kitchen Tips
- Soften, don’t melt: Ice cream should be soft enough to fold but not soupy. About 10 minutes at room temp.
- Fresh or frozen cherries: Both work. Frozen cherries add nice icy chunks throughout.
- No-churn option: Use this same method with homemade no-churn ice cream for a from-scratch version.
- Slice cleanly: Dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts for clean slices through the frozen pie.
