What is an Ice Cream Pie Cup?
It’s an edible ice cream bowl, and then some! Using refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crust, you create individual confections that are only limited by your creativity (and your sweet tooth). Baked to perfect individual portions in muffin cups, pie crusts are dipped in rich, melty chocolate and decorated with sprinkles or your choice of finishing touches.
How should I serve edible ice cream bowls?
Here, we coat the edges of the bowl in chocolate and then dip it in sprinkles. It would also be delicious dipped in crushed nuts, mini marshmallows or cookies. But there are so many ways to make this edible ice cream bowl recipe your own. Of course, you can always just add your favorite ice cream, drizzle it with chocolate or butterscotch sauce — and then add all your favorite toppings, like candy, cereal, fruit, or even pretzel pieces.
Speaking of marshmallow: You could create a s’mores bowl by dipping the chocolate rim in crushed graham cracker and then filling the bowl with marshmallow creme and ice cream. So decadent and delicious! We’ve also made banana split cups with diced banana, Neapolitan ice cream, and chopped nuts and cherries.
With this edible ice cream bowl recipe, the possibilities are deliciously endless! To read more about this recipe and see Pillsbury’s take on other trends, click here!
