I had to bring my own Peppermint Crunch Ice Cream Pie to Thanksgiving dinner because I don’t love pumpkin pie (I know, I know . . . something is seriously wrong with me). However, I do love all things peppermint flavored and I am a sucker for ice cream. The rest is history. My family devoured this pie even faster than the pumpkin pie. I used a pre-made crumb pie crust, but you could definitely make your own crust if you are super ambitious.

Frequently Asked Questions
I LOVE ice cream, but have you ever taken it out of the freezer, and had a bite, and all you can taste is the freezer? This recipe is wonderful because you can make it a little in advance, however, I would not make this too far in advance. If you want to make this pie ahead of time, I recommend making and eating it within 3-4 days. Otherwise it will begin to get freezer burned, and it will lose it’s delicious flavor. I would definitely add the desired toppings right before serving, and not before storing in the freezer.
You can use the following other flavors for this ice cream pie: strawberry, cookies and cream, rocky road, chocolate, cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, or coconut ice creams.
Toppings we like include the following: candy canes, crushed Oreos, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, hot fudge, or melted chocolate chips.

holy moly this looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is really funny is that I made something VERY similar to this about 30 years ago for a priest friend of ours. FRIDAY night-he was talking about THAT pie. I think I have to make another one now- this one is a lot less labor intensive than the one I made. Happy Sunday- xo Diana
Wow! That looks sinfully delicious!!!
I’m with you girl. Not a fan of pumpkin but love all things peppermint! Must be a sign of how truly fabulous we are. Thanks for the recipe but if I buy the ice cream it probably will not make it into a pie. : )
It’s going to be even better if you use FARR’s brand Peppermint stick ice cream! OMG once you try it you will NEVER be able to eat the other brands its that good! lol
We don’t get Farr’s ice cream, but Schwann’s peppermint is awesome!
This looks so easy and festive! Definitely making it this holiday season!
This is the coolest (literally!) thing ever! Peppermint rocks my holiday socks and I am loving this pie!
Oh my! Looks delicious!
