Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 2 cups blueberry ice cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Remove the blueberry ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, making it easier to spread.
- Using a spatula, carefully spread the softened blueberry ice cream evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, ensuring a smooth and level surface.
- Gently wash the fresh blueberries and pat them dry with a clean paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Sprinkle the fresh blueberries uniformly over the top of the ice cream layer, creating an attractive and even distribution.
- Place the pie in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up and set completely.
- Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to slightly soften.
- Just before serving, pipe or spread the whipped cream decoratively on top of the pie.
- Slice the pie into 8 equal portions and serve immediately while the ice cream is still firm but not too hard.
Tips
- Let the ice cream soften just right - not too melty, not too hard. The perfect consistency makes spreading a breeze.
- Use a chilled spatula when spreading the ice cream for a smoother, more even surface.
- Choose ripe, plump blueberries for the best flavor and visual appeal.
- For an extra touch, consider lightly crushing some blueberries to create a beautiful marbled effect.
- Freeze the pie thoroughly to ensure clean, crisp slices when serving.
- If you want to make it ahead, the pie can be prepared and frozen up to 3 days in advance.
- For a gourmet twist, try adding a light drizzle of blueberry sauce or a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
