Hummer Pie
A rich, creamy ice cream pie with coffee and rum flavors, perfect for dessert gatherings or indulgent treats for coffee lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the French vanilla ice cream, instant coffee, ginger, and rum together until well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared chocolate pie crusts.
- Place the pies in the freezer uncovered for 4 hours to set.
- Cover the pies and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the French vanilla ice cream soften slightly before mixing. You can replace the rum with a non-alcoholic vanilla extract for a family-friendly version. If you prefer a different flavor, consider using coffee ice cream instead. To enhance the coffee flavor, use a high-quality instant coffee. Make sure the pie crusts are thawed if frozen before filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of Hummer Pie with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a rich coffee or a Vodka Cooler(This Drink Is For Adults Only.) for a delightful dessert experience. Consider serving it alongside fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in the freezer covered properly to prevent freezer burn. The pie can last up to two weeks when stored correctly. If you want to serve it later, simply remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of ice cream?
Yes, you can definitely experiment with different flavors of ice cream. Chocolate, coffee, or even caramel would work well. Just ensure that the flavor complements the other ingredients, especially the coffee and rum.
How can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Hummer Pie is perfect for make-ahead desserts. You can prepare it up to two weeks in advance. Just follow the instructions, freeze it uncovered for four hours, then cover it tightly to store. This allows you to serve a delicious dessert without any last-minute preparation.
What can I do if I don't have chocolate pie crusts?
If you don't have chocolate pie crusts, you can easily substitute with regular graham cracker crusts or even vanilla pie crusts. For a unique twist, consider making a homemade crust using crushed cookies or nuts mixed with butter for added flavor.
