Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
5 Tbsp. SMC unsalted butter, melted; more for greasing the pan
2 pints SMC chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
¾ cup Hot Fudge Sauce
1 pint SMC coffee ice cream, slightly softened
1 pint SMC vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

For the crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
Measure 1-1/2 cups of crumbs and put them in a bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer to the pie plate and press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides. 
Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

For the pie:
Scoop 1 pint of the chocolate ice cream into the cooled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer for 30 min.
Remove the pie from the freezer and drizzle 1/2 cup of the room-temperature fudge sauce over the ice cream.
Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop round balls of the chocolate, coffee, and vanilla ice creams and arrange them over the fudge sauce layer. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of fudge sauce. Freeze until the ice cream is firm, about 2 hours.
Loosely cover the pie with waxed paper and then wrap with aluminum foil. Ice cream pie will freeze for up to two weeks.
To serve, let the pie soften for 15 to 30 min. Cut into wedges, serve, and enjoy!

Substitutions:
Substitute chocolate, coffee, and vanilla ice cream for your favorite SMC ice cream flavors!
Use wafer cookies or chocolate graham crackers to make a pie crust.
