Peach Ice Cream Pie

winkki's Note:

Frozen peach ice cream pie in a crunchy chocolate crust...a cool treat on a hot summer day! From the Peach Tree Tea Room in Fredericksburg, TX, deep in the heart of Texas hill country. Would be extra refreshing garnished with fresh mint leaves. You could also make these in muffin pans for little individual frozen peach ice cream tarts. Cook time does not include freezing time.

What a wonderful treat! We loved the combination of chocolate and peaches. I'm constantly looking for desserts that I can prepare on the weekend and freeze for later in the week. This was perfect! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
