Cappuccino Ice Cream Pie

Celebrate National Ice Cream Month with this super easy ice cream dessert!

By: Jodie Shield, MED, RDN

On a hot, sticky, summer night this refreshing pie is the perfect dessert. I tweaked Betty Crocker’s original recipe and now it’s my go-to basic recipe for making ice cream pie. Feel free to swap out the coffee ice cream and use strawberry, vanilla, or what every flavor you crave. Frozen yogurt and gelato work, too. In a pinch, I even use a ready-to-eat cookie crust. For best results, let the pie stand in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving.  For more easy and delicious frozen dessert recipes try my Frozen Peanut Butter Fudge Pie and Orange Sorbet.
