Father’s Day is fast approaching and we thought we’d share an easy and delightful Ice Cream Pie that can be customized to fit your particular father figure tastes. Because who doesn’t love ice cream pie in the summertime?
We love the combination of chocolate crust, peanut butter ice cream and peanut butter cups. The recipe for the chocolate crust is below and the recipe for our delicious peanut butter ice cream can be found here.
