I had to bring my own Peppermint Crunch Ice Cream Pie to Thanksgiving dinner because I don’t love pumpkin pie (I know, I know . . . something is seriously wrong with me).
However, I do love all things peppermint flavored and I am a sucker for ice cream. The rest is history.
My family devoured this pie even faster than the pumpkin pie. I used a pre-made crumb pie crust, but you could definitely make your own crust if you are super ambitious.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Peppermint Ice Cream Pie
I LOVE ice cream, but have you ever taken it out of the freezer, and had a bite, and all you can taste is the freezer?
This recipe is wonderful because you can make it a little in advance, however, I would not make this too far in advance.
If you want to make this pie ahead of time, I recommend making and eating it within 3-4 days.
Otherwise it will begin to get freezer burned, and it will lose it’s delicious flavor.
I would definitely add the desired toppings right before serving, and not before storing in the freezer.
