14cupconfectioner's sugar
Chocolate sauce or mini chocolate chips for garnishor both if you like to live dangerously
Instructions
Pull ice cream out of the freezer for 5-10 minutes to soften (if the box has already been opened, but may take a minute or two longer to soften than an unopened box).
While the ice cream softens, place heavy cream, vanilla extract and confctioner's sugar into a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or bowl with a hand mixer and whip until they form nice, fluffy peaks of whipped cream. Set aside.
Carefully scoop ice cream into the pie crust, leaving a small amount of space on top for the layer of whipped cream. Using a spatula, smooth it out a bit on top so that it's level.
Next, pipe or scoop whipped cream on top of the pie.
If you're planning on garnishing with chocolate sauce and/or mini chocolate chips, add them at this point.
Place the pie in the freezer to harden uncovered. Let it freeze for a couple of hours or longer and serve.
