All-American Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 9-inch cookie crumb pie shell
• 1 1.5 quart container of Pierre's Premium Strawberry Ice Cream
• 1 1.5 quart container of Pierre's Premium French Vanilla or Classic Vanilla Ice Cream.
• Whipped Cream
• Fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Freeze the crusts for at least 30 minutes to firm them before filling. This way, the crumbs will not be as loose and not mix with the ice cream. Slightly soften the ice cream in the refrigerator before scooping (Approximately 10 – 20 minutes). Scoop 4 healthy scoops of Pierre’s Strawberry Ice Cream into a bowl. Whip with rubber spatula to make spreadable. Don’t let the ice cream melt while preparing the pie as it may become icy when it refreezes. Spread Strawberry Ice Cream into pie crust. Return pie crust with Strawberry Ice Cream to freezer for 10 Minutes. Repeat process for Vanilla Ice Cream middle layer and top layer of Strawberry Ice Cream. Cover with wrap when storing. Before serving, allow the pie to soften approximately 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator, or 5 minutes at room temperature for best flavor and texture. Slice pie and top with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries.
