S'mores Ice Cream Pie: National Ice Cream Pie Day!

Today is National Ice Cream Day, a perfect summer holiday. And, summer is all about S'mores, so put them together, and you have a great play on the traditional s'mores: S'mores Ice Cream Pie. I've posted S'mores Pie recipes before. They're usually made with frozen chocolate ice cream, but for this recipe uses Rocky Road ice-cream. You'll have lots more smores ingredients! How fun is that? I originally found this recipe on the Taste of Home website. I've tried other S'mores Ice Cream Pie Recipes, but this is my favorite! It's easy and delicious.

S'mores Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp sugar

2-1/2 cups Rocky Road ice cream (or Chocolate), softened

Carefully spread ice cream onto crust; freeze until firm. Spread marshmallow creme over ice cream. Top with marshmallows; gently press into creme. Cover and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, use a mini-torch and scorch marshmallows a bit--or broil 6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown.
