This recipes uses one of my favorite store bought ingredients, which I find myself buying on a continual basis – Breyers Gluten Free Ice Cream. I’ve mentioned before that I love Breyers Ice Cream. I have been a big fan of their ice cream for quite some time (a few of my favorites are the Natural Vanilla, Strawberry and the Chocolate). The texture, the flavors and just the perfect creaminess of their ice cream is hard to compete with. And bonus, have you heard Breyers now has 36 gluten free varieties?? Today I made their incredibly delicious German Chocolate Ice Cream Pie and my family couldn’t get enough of it! With pie season just around the corner I think you need to add this one to that upcoming menu (and you better make a test one first, right :). I’ve always thought there should be more ice cream pies out there because it is one of my favorite foods after all. This would also make for a fabulous weekend treat, because you should definitely treat yourself sometimes. I’m telling you, you are going to love this german chocolate cake inspired ice cream pie (as in, you’ll likely dream about it once it’s gone)! It is loaded with the flavors you find in a traditional german chocolate dessert, which included plenty of coconut, toasted pecans (or un-toasted if you want to save time) and caramel sauce to mimic that brown sugar, caramel-like flavor in a traditional german chocolate sauce. Simply put, this ice cream pie is irresistible. Many thanks to Breyers for supplying such a high quality product that I know I can consistently count on to serve my family, friends and guests. Oh, and myself of course, I’m an ice cream snob! Enjoy!
Please note that the pie isn’t gluten-free unless you use certified gluten-free ingredients. Always read labels to make sure everything works for your dietary needs.
