I'm Back!!!

Hi Everyone! Seems like I haven't written for a long time! Wait a minute, I haven't!! Sorry! Life is moving so quickly and it seems that the older I get, the faster time goes! Believe me, I'm thankful for everyday!

Enough about me, how about a summer dessert that will chill your palate as well as make your sweet tooth happy.

CHOCOLATE CRUSTED ICE CREAM SUNDAE PIE

Serves 8
PREP Time: 10m
TOTAL Time: 2hr 25m

Ingredients:

1 CHOCOLATE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST - packaged in your grocery store
2 pints butter pecan ice cream (or flavor of your choice), slightly softened
Syrup of your choice
Whipped Cream

Directions:

 Remove the graham crust from its tin and place in zipper bag, roll with a rolling pin or break up with your hands until it is all separated. Transfer it to a 9-inch springform pan. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Freeze just until firm, 5 to 10 minutes.

Spread the ice cream in the prepared crust and freeze, covered, until firm, for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Remove from pan 5-10 minutes before serving so that it's easier to cut (depends on the heat in your kitchen). Cut into 8 healthy slices and top with syrup and whipped cream. Everyone will think you spent hours making this especially for them. Oh, don't forget the cherry on top!

Although this wouldn't be a good take along picnic option dessert, why not plan an impromptu picnic with your family. Pack up this handy aluminum framed picnic cooler basket and head to the park.

Enjoy your summer and we'll talk again soon!
