Recipes For Easy and Delicious Frozen Pies

Frozen pies are always a great treat. But as we head into Spring and Summer, these delicious cold pies become even more of a hit. Here are a couple of great recipes that are easy to make, taste delicious, and make a lovely presentation to impress your family and/or guests. Try either Toffee Bar Crunch Pie or Granny's Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie. Oh why not just try them both!
TOFFEE BAR CRUNCH PIE
1/3 cup caramel dessert topping
1 1/2 cups cold milk
1 pkg (4-serving size) Vanilla flavor instant pudding and pie filling
1 tub (8-oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
6 bars (1.4-oz each) chocolate-covered English toffee, chopped
1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust
Spread the dessert topping on bottom of the graham cracker crust. Pour milk into a large bowl and add pudding mix. Beat mixture with a wire whisk for 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the whipped topping and chopped toffee bars. Spoon mixture into the crust. Freeze for 4 hours or until set. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting. Store any leftover pie in the freezer.
GRANNY'S CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM PIE
Note: This pie needs to freeze approximately one hour before serving!
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
2 cups crispy rice cereal
1/4 cup sour cream
1 quart chocolate chip ice cream, softened
Lightly spray the bottom of sides of a 9-inch pie plate with butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl combine the chocolate syrup with the chocolate chips. Microwave on high about 45 seconds or until hot. Stir until all the chips have melted and the mixture is smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture.
In a medium bowl combine the remaining chocolate mixture with the crispy rice cereal and mix well to coat all the cereal with chocolate. Press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of the pie plate to form a crust. Put in the freezer until the crust is firm. This should take about 15 minutes. Allow ice cream to soften during this time.
In a small bowl combine the reserved chocolate mixture and the sour cream; mix well.
Spread half of the ice cream in the prepared pie shell. Drizzle half the sour cream mixture over the ice cream in the crust. Top with the remaining half of the ice cream and drizzle with the remaining sour cream mixture. Cover and freeze for about an hour or until firm.
Enjoy!
