Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae Pie
A bowl of vanilla ice cream with caramel topping and whipped cream is yummy of course, but thinking outside of the box and using those three items to create something that is not only delicious but pretty too is what we love to do. You can use any flavor or different ones on each layer you love, that is whatโs so great about it.
These are the items we used to create this beauty. You could use any flavor of ice cream that is store bought you love. Or make a homemade one with caramel sauce inside using your Ninja Creami ice cream.
We will show you how to make this. It is easiest if you leave out your tub of ice cream just for a bit so it softens. Then you can smooth it layer by layer with the back of a spoon
Ingredients
- Blue Bunny PB โN Cones (found in the frozen section as you see here). Or the variety with peanut butter cups inside is great. Probably our favorite ice cream
- Smuckerโs Hot Fudge Spoonable Ice Cream Topping (on end cap as you see here near the carton picture)
- Large burrito size tortillas (bread aisle)
- Reddi-Wip original whipped cream topping (near milk in refrigerated section)
- Sprinkles (in the baking aisle)
- Pie pan (we had that at home), no 3 ingredient pie crust or graham cracker crust necessary unless you wanted to use our sugar cookie version
And of course you can make this with all different types of flavors and sundae toppings in between the layers.
It is really simple to make this pretty dessert, and it is perfect to make for a special occasion like a birthday party too! If we have a larger crowd we will make one of these and 12 Fried Chicken Ice Cream pieces too, everyone loves both. Large tortillas create the layers as you see here below.
How to Make an Ice Cream Sundae Pie
- Lay a large tortilla on the bottom of your pie plate
- On top of each layer scoop 1/3 of your carton of Blue Bunnyยฎ PB โN Conesโข and spread evenly across the tortilla
- Squeeze a W shape of Smuckerโs Hot Fudge Spoonable Ice Cream Topping on top of that (The way I make it so the fudge is easier to spread is I empty the contents of the jar into a small freezer bag, seal, and cut the corner off so you can squeeze it out on top of your ice cream in a W pattern so it is spread throughout your ice cream pie when cut into).
- Top that layer with another tortilla, press down gently
- Spoon another 1/3 container of your ice cream
- Spread out evenly
- Squeeze another W shape of your hot fudge topping
- Followed by your 3rd and last tortilla
- The top layer will contain the last 1/3 of your tub of ice cream, smoothed out all the way to the edges.
- Squeeze the last bit of hot fudge in dollop forms all the way around the edges of your ice cream pie to make it pretty then itโs off to the freezer!
- Freeze for at least an hour, I usually leave it in for 2 hours
- When you take it out shake up your can whipped topping and make dollops in between the hot fudge dots on top of your ice cream sundae pie, then a large dollop in the middle.
- Always store in the freezer when youโve had your fill.
There are so many toppings you can add to the top or even inside and layer in between scoops. The choices are endless depending on what you love eating. We sprinkled multi-colored star sprinkles all over when we were done, but that is optional depending on the occasion. Use a sharp knife to slice into pieces and enjoy. If it is tough to get through run it under some hot water and it will cut your ice cream cake easily.
How to make an ice cream sundae bar at home
Use a sharp knife dipped into a cup full of hot water to cut clean slices for everyone and enjoy! Put on a plate and then have multiple bowls of toppings on your island. You will want to top with whipped topping first so all of the goodies will stick on nicely and not fall off.
You will want to take it out 20 minutes before serving, this will just start to soften so it is easier to slice. Fill a bowl with hot water or soak a towel. Dip your sharp knife into the water or slide the wet towel along with the blade facing away from you. Then slice easily thru. Dip back into hot water with every slice.
I mean you can make up your own name but ice cream pie is generally what people reference. Itโs similar to an ice cream cake but thinner and in a different pan of course.
It is absolutely delicious and a fun new way to make an ice cream sundae! If you are looking for other fun pie recipes that are out of the norm you should try our upside down cherry pie.
