Chocolate ice creamabout half of a regular size box
1 16ozjar of maraschino cherriespull aside the 9 prettiest cherries and chop the rest
Whipped toppingabout ⅓ of a container
Chocolate shavings for garnishmini chocolate chips will also work
Instructions
Pull your container of ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit out for 7-10 minutes to soften it.
Carefully spread your ice cream inside of the pie crust leaving about ¼ of an inch of space above it. Use a spatula to smooth the top of it (I use my offset spatula).
Evenly distribute your chopped cherries on top of the ice cream.
Next, carefully spread a layer of whipped topping over the cherries to cover the top of the pie.
Decorate by placing 8 of the whole cherries around the perimeter of the pie, evenly spaced and the other cherry in the middle and sprinkle with shaved chocolate.
Place your pie back in the freezer for at least an hour. After the hour, cover it and keep in the freezer until serving.
