Who says a tasty dessert has to be difficult? When I want something delicious, I will usually just open the freezer and pull out a carton of delicious Breyers Ice Cream.

Sometimes, I like to kick things up a notch and that’s when I use that tub of Breyers to create one of the easiest and most amazing desserts ever…an ice cream pie!

There are a millions different combinations possible and you are only limited by your imagination. Start with a tasty crust…it can be a cookie crust, graham cracker crust, coconut crust or even a pretzel crust like the recipe I am sharing today. Once you have your crust, you simply fill it with any variety of Breyers Ice Cream! That’s it…that is your basic ice cream pie.

Of course if you want to go all out, you can add a sauce or a topping and take your ice cream pie to the next level. That’s exactly what I did with this Salted Caramel Ice Cream Pie with Pretzel Crust.

It’s a super rich and decadent dessert that is beyond fantastic. And the best part, it’s crazy simple to make.

Allow to cool for 5 – 7 minutes.
