Category: Pies - Frozen

1/3 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp brandy
1 (12 oz) pkg frozen pitted dark sweet cherries
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp honey
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 9 cookie sheets)
4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

Preheat oven to 375.

Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Cool completely.

Combine butter and honey in a medium bowl. Add graham cracker crumbs, stirring to blend. Press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes. Cool completely.

Place 1/2 cup cooled cherry mixture in a food processor; process until smooth. Place the remaining cherry mixture in an airtight container; cover and chill.

Place softened ice cream in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add pureed cherry mixture, and gently fold in to achieve a swirl pattern. Spoon mixture into the cooled crust. Cover and freeze 4 hours or until firm. Top with reserved cherry sauce just before serving.
