Peppermint Crunch Ice Cream Pie -- easiest Christmas dessert every


I just made the EASIEST Christmas dessert ever! Made with just four ingredients. No baking involved.
Inspired by an ice cream pie that Nancy Kassebaum Baker recently made, I melted the butter and chocolate, combined them with crispy rice cereal for the pie crust and the piled ice cream into the chilled crust. How easy is that? Very.
This dessert features the festive flavors of peppermint ice-cream in a crunchy chocolate crust. How good is that? Scrumptious.  
The Rice Krispie® website includes a recipe for Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream Pie filled with coffee ice. 

Peppermint Crunch Ice Cream Pie    Makes one 8 or 9" pie
1/3 stick butter
3 squares (1 oz. each) semi-sweet chocolate
2 cups crisp rice cereal
46 oz. peppermint ice cream (I used Blue Bunny® Peppermint Party w/ streaks of fudge), slightly softened
  1. Melt butter and chocolate over low heat.
  2. Stir in crisp rice cereal. 
  3. Pack into a sprayed 8 or 9" pie plate. I then put a piece of sprayed plastic wrap over the top and used my hands to push the cereal crust into an even layer that conforms to the shape of the pie pan. (Spraying the plastic keeps it from sticking to the cereal mixture.)
  4. Chill pie crust and then add slightly softened ice cream.
  5. Store in freezer; remove about 5 to 10 minutes (or more) before ready to cut.
