Mmmmm.... Ice cream pie! Perfect for these warm spring/summer days!The pie starts with a shortbread crust and is filled with a banana/chocolate ice cream mixture. If you are thinking that my pie doesn't fit that description, you are right.
I changed a few things with this recipe in order to use what I had on hand. I was making a pie for SMS that needed pie crust so I used pie crust on this recipe as well. As much as I know I would've loved a shortbread crust, traditional pie crust won out.
I also changed the ice cream flavor. We don't usually have ice cream on hand and I didn't feel like making or buying chocolate ice cream. But, I did have the FANTASTIC Burnt Sugar Ice Cream in the freezer and I thought that would be a great substitution.
I loved the banana flavor with the ice cream and it was a delicious, cool treat. I am interested in trying it the way the recipe is written, but I think it was overall a great pie.
Thank you to Spike of Spike Bakes for not hosting this week. The recipe for Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie can be found at her blog.
Burnt-sugar Ice Cream Pie sounds like a good variation.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find that this pie was good, but not a favorite.
LOL, When I first looked at the pic I didn't get it but inreading the post I do. I think your banana and burnt ice cream sounds way better than banana and chocolate, waaaay better!

ReplyDeleteCiao Cristine ! I think this pie was lovely with the burned sugar ice cream !!
ReplyDeleteI didn't make it this week, but if I did, I would have used that Burnt Sugar ice cream, too. Caramel and bananas? How can that be bad??
