Creamsicle Pie

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"This has all the luscious flavors of a creamsicle bar: orange, vanilla and chocolate. We love this simple pie. I find the ice cream and sherbet soften nicely if stored in the door of the freezer. Perhaps yours works the same way. Otherwise you may microwave at 50% for about 30 seconds. Cooking time is actually freezing time."

 

• Ready In: 4hrs 20mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 1 pie
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 (9 ounce) box famous chocolate wafers, crushed (reserve 1/2 cup for topping)
• 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
• 1 quart Orange sherbet, softened slightly
• 1 (11 ounce) jar fudge sauce (optional)

directions

1. For the crust, combine all but 1/2 cup of the chocolate crumbs with the butter in a 10-inch pie plate. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Do not bake: the soft ice cream mels into the crumbs so they adhere nicely when sliced.
2. Drizzle 1/3 of the fudge sauce over the crumbs. Layer 1/2 of vanilla ice cream in shell and drizzle another 1/3 of fudge sauce over. Add orange sherbet and drizzle with remaining fudge sauce. Top with remaining vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with reserved crumb. Freeze.
3. To serve, let sit out at room temperature 10-15 minutes before slicing.
