Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream, softened
- 2 cups Strawberry ice cream, softened
- 2 cups Chocolate ice cream, softened
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
- 4 whole Fresh strawberries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the crust to create the first layer. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
Follow with a layer of strawberry ice cream, spreading it evenly over the vanilla layer. Freeze for another 30 minutes or until firm.
Repeat with the chocolate ice cream, spreading evenly over the strawberry layer. Freeze for 1 hour or until fully solid.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Remove the pie from the freezer and release it from the springform pan. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the layered ice cream.
Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh strawberries, if desired.
Return the pie to the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving to ensure it is fully set.
To serve, slice the Frozen Harlequin Pie using a warm knife (dip the knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut) for clean slices. Enjoy!
