Ice cream desserts are a summer treat. Ice cream pie answers the wish for a decadent, yet easy-to-prepare dessert. This ice cream pie can be made ahead and is Seriously Simple to assemble.

Since you are buying the crust, if you want, you can insert the pre-made crust into a glass or porcelain plate for a pretty presentation. Softened ice cream is spooned into the crust and the pie frozen, then a cool berry compote is spooned over the pie slice just before serving. For a Fourth of July theme, use strawberry and vanilla ice cream and garnish with raspberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. It’s a knockout summer dessert.
