Rocky Road Ice Cream Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Place 8 tablespoons/115 grams of the butter in a small skillet and melt over medium heat; set aside.
• Place the cookies and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, and process until the cookies are very finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are moistened. Transfer the crumb mixture to the prepared pan and press into an even layer, packing the crust lightly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Place the pan in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes, until the crust is firm to the touch.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the nuts and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, tossing often, until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool completely.
• Soften the ice cream in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes until easy to scoop but not melted.
• Scoop large spoonfuls of ice cream all over the crust, and working quickly, use an offset spatula or wooden spoon to smooth the ice cream into an even layer with no gaps. Sprinkle the nut mixture and marshmallows over the ice cream and press them lightly into an even layer using the palms of your hands.
• Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Cut the ends of the ice cream away from the edges of the pan and lift the overhanging parchment paper to remove the bars. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares. Serve straight from the freezer, drizzled with hot fudge, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk cream and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallows and pecans. Transfer to pie crust. Freeze until firm, about 6 hours. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a baking sheet in the center of the oven. Spray the bottom of a standard 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• For the cookie base: Combine the butter, brown sugar, coffee if using, vanilla, salt, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Blend on low speed until combined then raise to medium speed and beat until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl and paddle clean and add the egg. Mix on low speed until combined then raise to medium speed for a few seconds. The mixture may look broken but that's okay. Add the flour and cocoa and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape the bowl as needed. Add the chocolate chips and nuts and mix on low speed until evenly distributed.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Moisten your fingers to press the dough evenly into the pan and up the sides. Smooth out the dough with a spoon if needed.
• Set the pie pan on the preheated baking sheet and bake until puffed and the outer 1-inch edge of the crust feels set, 14 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack until barely warm. It's okay if the center of the cookie sinks as it cools.
• For the butterscotch sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until foamy and sizzling. Stir in the sugar, cream, salt and 1 teaspoon water, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and boil without stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. If it looks like the butter has separated from the sauce, add a few drops of hot water and stir until smooth. Pour into a heatproof measuring cup and let cool while assembling the pie.
• To assemble: Remove the cookie base from the pan if desired. Fill the center of the cookie crust
• with scoops of ice cream. Sprinkle with the marshmallows, almonds and chocolate chips and slice. Drizzle butterscotch sauce over each slice and serve (see Cook's Note). Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 week.
