Coffee Toffee Ice Cream Pie

After the heat wave swept through Minnesota last week, we were ready for something cold!

 

 Preparing the graham cracker crust.

We skyped in our wonderful German friend, Leona. She was a vital part in our Coffee Toffee Ice Cream Pie extravaganza. :)

  Pretending to be the one making the chocolate and coffee mixture.

Rachel decided to let Ellie grace one of her photos.

 Chopping up the Heath bars for the pie topping!

 Maneuvering the ice cream into the pie. A difficult task indeed!

 Yum!

 The Reviews:

"Best dessert yet." ~Ellie's Dad 

"Good. Very good. Can't really go wrong with coffee, toffee, and graham cracker crust. Your best dessert so far." ~Ellie's Mom

"Good. The ice cream adds a nice smooth to the chewy bottom, and the heath adds a nice crunch." ~Davis

"Mmmmm...could even use more coffee. It's good." ~Gabe

"Woooowww, this is really good! My favorite so far." ~Rachel's Mom

Rachel's Recipe Review: There are no words to describe how delicious this dessert was. :D

Ellie's Recipe Ramblings: This was definitely a very refreshing way to cut the summer heat! One thing I really liked about this pie was the layer of chocolate-coffee between the crust and the ice cream. It made this more than just coffee ice cream in a graham cracker crust--it made it a real dessert. All around--delicious! Oh, and by the way, if you noticed that basically every picture in this blog was of Rachel...well that was because after our last blogs she was for some reason feeling really insecure...she, for some reason, thought that "all the pictures so far" had been of me..so anytime I did something (a lot of somethings.;)..) for this recipe, she'd jump in and make me take a picture of her! :P
