There’s something wildly satisfying about an ice cream pie. It feels like you pulled off a dessert miracle—but really, you just pressed some crumbs into a pan and scooped.
These pies are cold, creamy, and endlessly customizable. Whether it’s a pool party or a lazy Tuesday night, they’re the kind of no-bake treat that always steals the show.
1. Classic Chocolate Ice Cream Pie With Oreo Crust
Crushed Oreos mixed with melted butter form a base that tastes like a candy bar. Press it into a pie dish, fill with softened chocolate ice cream, and freeze until firm.
A layer of whipped cream and shaved chocolate makes it feel fancy. It’s the one I make when I don’t want to think too hard.
2. Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Pie
Layers of peanut butter ice cream and chopped mini peanut butter cups pile high in a chocolate cookie crust. Melt peanut butter with a little cream and drizzle it over the top before freezing.
The texture is chewy, cold, and rich. It disappears in record time.
3. Mint Chocolate Chip Pie With Cookie Crust
Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and cool mint ice cream are a perfect match. I add a few drops of mint extract to amplify the flavor and top with chocolate shell that cracks just right.
The green color screams retro diner vibes. Serve with hot fudge for extra drama.
4. Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Pie
Golden graham crust meets strawberry ice cream swirled with crushed shortbread cookies and fresh berries. I love topping it with whipped cream and freeze-dried strawberries for color.
It tastes like summer at grandma’s house. Bonus: it looks way harder than it is.
5. Mocha Fudge Swirl Ice Cream Pie
Coffee ice cream layered with thick chocolate fudge and crushed espresso beans gives this one grown-up flavor. Using a chocolate graham crust keeps things rich.
The caffeine kick is subtle, but it’s there. Great for brunch dessert—or breakfast, honestly.
6. S’mores Ice Cream Pie With Toasted Marshmallows
Graham cracker crust, chocolate ice cream, and a blanket of toasted mini marshmallows on top. I use a kitchen torch for that golden campfire finish.
A ribbon of marshmallow cream inside takes it over the top. It tastes like a firepit in dessert form.
7. Banana Split Ice Cream Pie
Scoops of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream layered into a crust made from crushed waffle cones.
Drizzle with hot fudge, scatter maraschino cherries, and freeze until sliceable. It’s messy, colorful, and completely joyful. No fork? Use a spoon.
8. Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream Pie
Salty pretzel crust, vanilla ice cream, and thick caramel drizzle are all you need to make people swoon. I crush the pretzels just enough so you still get a crunch.
It’s sweet, salty, cold, and satisfying. A sprinkle of sea salt on top makes it pop.
9. Cookie Dough Ice Cream Pie
Chocolate chip cookie crust gets baked just until golden, then filled with cookie dough ice cream and topped with more dough bites.
Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup before serving. It’s like eating frozen dough straight from the tub—but socially acceptable.
10. Coconut Cream Ice Cream Pie With Graham Crust
Toasted coconut, vanilla ice cream, and a splash of coconut milk make this one a tropical escape. Stir coconut flakes right into the softened ice cream before spreading it into a graham cracker crust.
Top with whipped cream and lime zest. It’s like vacation in pie form.
11. Rocky Road Ice Cream Pie
Chocolate ice cream packed with mini marshmallows, roasted almonds, and swirls of fudge gets even better in a cookie crust. I like to press in extra mix-ins before freezing for a chunkier bite.
The texture is chewy, crunchy, cold—basically perfect. Don’t skip the whipped cream mountain on top.
12. Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream Pie
Chopped cherries folded into vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of cherry jam give this pie bright, tart flavor. Usually, I use a buttery shortbread crust to keep it delicate.
The color’s beautiful when sliced. Think of it as a frozen twist on cherry pie à la mode.
13. Lemon Ice Cream Pie With Gingersnap Crust
Crushed gingersnaps and lemon ice cream are an unexpected match that somehow just works. Add lemon zest to the crust and top with sweetened whipped cream and a few candied lemon slices.
This pie is fresh, cool, and zingy. Great after a heavy meal or just when you need sunshine on a plate.
14. Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Pie
Pumpkin ice cream, a cinnamon graham crust, and whipped cream swirls make this a fall favorite. I suggest you dust the top with nutmeg before freezing.
It’s lighter than pumpkin pie but just as flavorful. Great for Thanksgiving—or those first September days when you pretend it’s sweater weather.
15. Neapolitan Ice Cream Layer Pie
Vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream layered in a graham cracker crust make this one a total throwback. You should top it with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles for full effect.
This one is simple, nostalgic, and always a hit with kids. Just be sure to slice it before it melts into art.
