Why We Love This Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie Recipe

This easy mint chocolate chip ice cream pie recipe has quickly become a family favorite. You only need three ingredients: ice cream (flavor of your choice), Cool Whip (regular or lite), and a pre-made pie crust to make it as simple as possible.

  • Homemade. Who wouldn’t want to make ice cream pie at home? It tastes just like the ones from the ice cream shop!
  • Easy. This is surprisingly easy to make and requires no cooking. You only need 3 ingredients, plus a pre-made cookie crust.
  • Customizable. Once you know how to make this recipe, it can be made in any flavor! Mint chocolate chip is so good, but it’s fun to try other options too.

Variations on Mint Chocolate Chip Pie

Because this ice cream pie is just so easy, it’s also easy to change up the flavor. Just swap out the mint chocolate chip ice cream for your favorite flavor, like vanilla, pumpkin, or red velvet! We used a chocolate cookie crust, but you can use a graham cracker crust, or any pre-made pie crust.

Serving Suggestions

Depending on the flavors you use for your ice cream pie, there are so many topping options. We love ours topped with whipped cream, chocolate fudge sauce or magic shell, caramel sauce, shaved chocolate, chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, crushed Oreos, or chocolate sprinkles.

Notes from the Test Kitchen

  • A handheld electric mixer is ideal for blending the ice cream and Cool Whip. But you can use a stand mixer, or even mix by hand if needed.
  • Freeze for at least 2 hours to let it set.
  • To get clean slices, run your knife under hot water for a few seconds, and wipe to dry between slices.
