BLACK FOREST ICE CREAM PIE

Category: Pies - Frozen

1 pint chocolate or vanilla ice cream, softened
1 extra-servings-size graham cracker crust (9 ounces)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 (8 oz) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling, chilled
3 tbsp chocolate syrup

Spoon ice cream into pie crust; cover and freeze for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth; fold in whipped topping. Set aside 1-1/2 cups for garnish. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over ice cream.

Using the back of a spoon, make an 8-in. diameter well in the center of the pie for the pie filling. Pipe reserved cream cheese mixture around pie. Cover and freeze for 3-4 hours or until firm. May be frozen for up to 2 months. Just before serving, spoon pie filling into the well; drizzle with chocolate syrup. Serve immediately.
