No-Bake Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie.

No-bake frozen chocolate chip ice cream pie is made with dairy free ice cream and cookie crumbs. This simple summer dessert is just right for a summer party.

Whether it’s summertime or the holiday season, it’s nice to have a reason to get together. And it’s nice to have a simple menu that you can prepare that won’t take too much time.

Desserts are one menu item that usually work out okay if you make them the night before. A chocolate and vanilla ice cream pie is a great choice for the warm summer weather. This simple pie is free of the top 8 allergens and made with ingredients you can find in many grocery stores.

Dairy Free Ice Cream

I used So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream in two flavors – chocolate and vanilla bean. If you have a different dairy free ice cream that you would prefer to use, that would be fine! You could use different flavors, a different brand, try homemade banana ice cream in this recipe – there are a lot of possibilities!

Cookie Crumb Crust

There are lots of options for making a gluten free cookie crumb crust. Enjoy Life makes crunchy cookies that work very well for making a crust. I used the chocolate variety, but the sugar cookies or the honey graham cookies would also work very well.

You can use gluten free graham crackers to make a crust, like in this vegan banana cream pie recipe.

Kinnikinnick makes K-Toos, which are like oreo cookies, but gluten free. Those make a great crust, too! I used those to make the crust for this oreo pie as well as this no-bake berry tart.

Variations

• Dairy Free White Chocolate Chips – Try adding some white chocolate chips to the top of this dessert.
• Berries – You can add some raspberries or blueberries to the top of this pie to add some color.
• Hot Fudge – A drizzle of hot fudge is a nice finishing touch on an ice cream dessert. Add some sunbutter to the fudge, or any nut or seed butter for more flavor.

Special Equipment

To keep things really easy, I recommend using a spring form pan for this dessert. That way once it’s frozen, you can just pop off the sides and slice the pie neatly. No sticking like you would have in a normal pie dish. I also found that using a pizza cutter helped me make nice clean cuts for a pretty presentation.
