The yummiest ice cream pie ever!!!

The Bachelorette and dessert go together like PB & J. You just NEED both.
For one episode this season, I made the simplest ice cream pie that turned out to be delicious.

We had Aunt Marybeth over and she gave it a good rating. You will most likely have extra sauce, so store it in the fridge to heat up and pour over plain ice cream.

I took this picture from tasteofhome.com because we ate it so quickly, I didn't have time for camera business.

Try it this summer. You will wow your friends and family.

  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened, divided (you can use light recipe)
  • 1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
  • 1/2 cup Heath bits (in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips)
    SAUCE:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk, divided
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup Heath bits

How-To:

  • Spread half of the ice cream into crust. Sprinkle with toffee bits. Spoon remaining ice cream over top. Cover and freeze until firm.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, corn syrup, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Combine cornstarch and remaining milk until smooth; gradually add to sugar mixture.
  • Return to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Cool to room temperature, stirring several times. Stir in toffee bits. Refrigerate until serving.
  • Just before serving, transfer sauce to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30-60 seconds or until heated through, stirring once. Serve with pie.
