This recipe has been sponsored by Chapman’s Ice Cream and I was compensated for my time spent creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! Mint desserts are always a favorite here! In fact, I think mint chip tops my kids’ list of favourite ice cream flavours (so I knew this pie would be a hit!). Summer is the time for lazy days in the sun or busy days at the park or the beach, which means that no one has a lot of time or energy to put into prepping food. Thankfully, this ice cream pie comes together in just a few minutes and with only a few ingredients! Chapman’s is our ice cream of choice here so we’ve chosen two of our favourites to incorporate into this fun no bake pie: the Yukon ice cream sandwiches (you can really use any flavour!) and the Markdale Creamery Mint Chip ice cream. I love how fun the cubed ice cream sandwiches make the presentation of this dessert! Your guests will be expecting a mint pie and the pockets of ice cream sandwiches are such a fun surprise. If you love mint desserts as much as we do, check out these No Bake Mint Chocolate Bars, this Mint Cream Cheese Brownies or this traditional Grasshopper Pie Recipe!
Ingredients Needed:
We need just a few ingredients to make this easy dessert!
Chapman’s Yukon Ice Cream Sandwiches: I used Cookies & Cream but the French Vanilla or the Chocolate Fudge would also work great! Just choose your favourite. Chapman’s Markdale Creamery Mint Chip Ice Cream: obviously we opted for mint in true grasshopper pie fashion, but you could make a similar ice cream pie with any flavour of ice cream. Chocolate ice cream would be fun with the Cookies & Cream sandwiches, too! Chocolate sandwich cookies: the base for our crust. If you don’t have chocolate sandwich cookies, you can use 2 ½ cups chocolate baking crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs) instead. Melted butter: is the glue that holds our crust together. Salted or unsalted both work great! Garnishes: you can garnish however you like! We use whipped cream, ice cream sandwich chunks, fresh mint leaves and mini chocolate chips.

Variations on this frozen Grasshopper Pie:
There are so many ways to make this recipe your own! Here are a few of our favourites:
Make Ice Cream Cupcakes: press the crust into a muffin pan lined with paper liners. Add one cube of ice cream sandwich in each muffin cup and top with softened ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream, a mint leave and an ice cream sandwich cube. Serve a crowd: If you want to make a large pan, you could press the crust into a 9×13″ pan, then top with half of the ice cream. Freeze until solid and top with a layer of ice cream sandwiches (whole or cut into cubes) and top with the remaining softened ice cream. Freeze until firm and garnish. Other flavours: as mentioned above, there are so many other flavour variations that works just as well! Try the Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Sandwiches instead of the Cookies & Cream, or try vanilla ice cream sandwiches with Cherry Chocolate or Cotton Candy Markdale Creamery ice cream. I love incorporating some kind of colour contrast between the sandwiches and the ice cream for more of a pop!
