Ingredients
Instructions
- Put Pet milk, chocolate chips, and salt in a saucepan.
- Stir over low heat until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is thick.
- Remove from heat.
- Add marshmallows and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Pour the mixture into the pie shell with pecan pieces.
- Add vanilla ice cream on top of the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Repeat the process to make a second pie if desired.
- Freeze until firm before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you can't find a deep dish pie shell with pecan pieces, a regular chocolate or graham cracker crust works well. To make the pie even creamier, substitute half of the vanilla ice cream with whipped cream. Ensure the chocolate mixture cools completely before adding the ice cream to prevent it from melting.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this indulgent fudge ice cream pie with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of chopped pecans on top for added texture. It pairs beautifully with a Molasses Shake for a delightful dessert experience. Consider serving alongside fresh berries to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. To serve, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting, which makes slicing easier. Avoid reheating as this pie is best enjoyed frozen, retaining its texture and flavors.
