Patrick’s Birthday Ice Cream Pie

 Crust

You can use a store-bought graham cracker crust or

6 – 8 vanilla sandwich cookies

1 package cinnamon graham crackers

¼ cup butter, melted

Crush cookies and graham crackers in a food processor or with a rolling pin.  Stir in melted butter and mix well.  Press mixture into a 9 or 10” deep dish pie pans and bake crust in a 375-degree oven for 8 – 10 minutes.  Let cool for a few minutes and fill.

 

Filling

1 carton Vanilla Ice Cream – softened a little and stir

2 Heath Bars- crushed

 

½ package caramels

¼ cup evaporated milk

3 tablespoons butter

 

In a small pan mix caramels, butter, and evaporated milk together; cook over low heat until caramels are melted, and all is mixed together.  Set it aside.

 

In cooled crust spread 1/3 of the ice cream, drizzle about ½ - ¾ caramel sauce over the ice cream, then spread another 1/3 of the ice cream, sprinkle all but about 1 tablespoon of the crushed Heath bar over ice cream, and add the last layer of ice cream, and then finally drizzle the top with the rest of the caramel and the Heath bar.  Freeze for several hours and then serve. 

**Tip- run a knife under hot water between each slice and it will be easier to cut!
