gilliandanielle said:I made the ice cream sandwich torte yesterday as my sister's birthday cake and it was a hit. It only feeds 12 people, so make extra if you are feeding more people. It was so easy to make and ended up costing under $10!! It is my new favorite PC recipe!! I used neopoliton (sp?) ice cream sandwiches to add flavor, or you could use vanilla sandwiches and change the pudding flavor.

Chef susan said:Using ice cream dipper place 2 scoops of ice cream on center of stone. Form a well with the ice cream dipper. Add 1 Tbsp. each of apple pie filling, graham cracker pie crust and caramel topping. Add a dash of cinnamon. Mix it all together by folding over itself using either 2 ice cream dippers or 2 Handy Scrapers.
Does that mean we are making a single serving at a time by only mixing the 2 scoops......??

Instead of the traditional graham cracker crust, consider using crushed cookies like Oreos, gingersnaps, or even pretzels for a sweet and salty twist. You can also experiment with a brownie base or a nut-based crust for added flavor and texture.
Mix and match various ice cream flavors to create a unique combination. You can also swirl in sauces like caramel, chocolate, or fruit preserves. Adding layers of different flavored ice creams or incorporating mix-ins like cookie dough, fruit, or nuts can enhance the flavor profile.
Get creative with toppings! Use whipped cream, chocolate shavings, fresh fruit, crushed candies, or nuts. You can also drizzle with sauces like hot fudge or caramel. For a fun twist, consider adding sprinkles or themed toppings based on the occasion.
Presentation is key! Use a clear pie dish to showcase the layers, or garnish the top with colorful fruits and toppings. You can also pipe whipped cream in decorative patterns or use edible flowers for an elegant touch. Consider using contrasting colors for the ice cream and toppings to make it pop.
Ice cream pies can be themed for various occasions. For a summer barbecue, use tropical flavors and fresh fruit. For a birthday, incorporate the birthday person's favorite flavors and colorful sprinkles. You can also create seasonal pies, like pumpkin spice for fall or peppermint for winter holidays, to match the festivities.
