I hosted another dinner party recently (okay, it was two months ago - I'm a bad blogger, I know). As per usual, I used the gathering as an excuse to make another tasty BabyCakes recipe. I like to make the pies and cakes when I know we will have a larger group to help consume them, lest I have leftovers still tempting me when I arrive home from work after a particularly stressful Tuesday.
This ice cream pie starts with a crust made of BabyCakes double chocolate chip cookies. Then you layer on two pints of vegan ice cream (I used the delicious Island Vanilla flavor of Luna & Larry's coconut milk ice cream), chocolate sauce, and more crumbled cookies. If you look closely you'll also notice I took the creative liberty of adding a layer of crumbled cookies in between the pints of ice cream.
As you can see, we were all far too distracted with eating the pie to bother with taking pictures.
This pie was good and relatively simple. You could go all out with different flavors of ice cream, too. I think a version featuring peanut butter would be genius.
So far, so good on the pies and cakes! Unfortunately, a cupcake recipe still remains on my "to bake" list so I fear failure looms in the near future. Stay tuned.
