German Chocolate Ice Cream Pie

German Chocolate Ice Cream Pie– all the flavors of German chocolate cake made into a decadent frosty treat that is melt in your mouth delicious!

 Today is National Ice Cream Pie Day, and I couldn’t wait to come up with a yummy recipe. Because hello- ice cream.

Ice cream is great all on its own, but serve it in pie form and you have a spectacular dessert that will “wow” everyone lucky enough to get a taste. We celebrated my husband’s birthday earlier this month, so I let him choose the flavor of the ice cream pie. He chose German chocolate cake, and I was happy to oblige.

This pie turned out even more scrumptious than I imagined! The chocolate crumb crust has added coconut, and it is so good I can’t wait to try it again for other pies. It smelled amazing when it was baking, and all my boys came running to see what I was making. I think they would have eaten the crust plain if I would have let them. But I assured them that the pie would be worth the wait.

The filling is perfectly chocolatey, and so rich and creamy. Then of course there’s the layers of caramel, coconut, and pecans. So yummy! All of the flavors combine to make one pie that is out of this world. I am seriously drooling just thinking about it.

I was actually sad when the last piece was gone. I was kinda wishing I would have hid the leftovers in the back recesses of the freezer so I could have had them all to myself. I can’t even tell you how much I loved this pie. 

If you love German chocolate cake, you must give this German Chocolate Ice Cream Pie a try as soon as humanly possible. It is phenomenal!
