Twix Ice Cream Pie Shortbread Crust

Updated June 22, 2020 It’s a good thing I eat a lot of salads during the hot summer months because I also eat a lot of ice cream. They balance each other out:) My current favorite ice cream treat is this Twix Ice Cream Pie. You guys, it is all kinds of wonderful. Here is the low down, shortbread cookie crust with a layer of chocolate, vanilla ice cream, chopped up Twix candy bars, and salted caramel sauce. Sounds heavenly, right? Yep, it is and you need to make it ASAP! I don’t buy candy bars very often, only when I want to make a special dessert. If they are incorporated into a recipe that somehow makes them better for me. I think it takes away the calories. Shhh. I know that is crazy thinking, but I don’t care:) Our family loves Twix candy bars so I thought it would be fun to use them in a fun summer dessert. I started with shortbread cookies. I didn’t make my own, I just used store bought cookies. Sometimes it is ok to cheat:) I combined the shortbread cookie crumbs with melted butter and pressed them into a pie plate. I baked the crust for 10 minutes and had a perfect pie crust. Easy peasy! Next, I added melted chocolate to the bottom of the shortbread pie crust. Shortbread cookie crust with chocolate? All kinds of YES! I let the chocolate harden in the freezer while I stirred up my ice cream. I added chopped up Twix candy bars and salted caramel sauce to softened vanilla ice cream. I wanted to eat the entire bowl with a spoon, but I knew the pie would be worth the wait, so I poured the ice cream mixture into my crust. I garnished the pie with more Twix candy bars and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce. Swoon! I put the pie in the freezer for a couple of hours so the ice cream could set up. The wait seemed like FOREVER! I kept pacing back and forth by the freezer. I couldn’t stand the suspense. I wanted a piece of pie! When the pie was ready, I took it out of the freezer and cut it into slices. I took a few quick photos for all of you and then I sat down with my glorious piece of pie. It was well worth the wait. This Twix Ice Cream Pie is AH-mazing! I loved every single bite. If you are looking for the ultimate ice cream dessert for summertime, look no further, this Twix Ice Cream Pie is IT! Enjoy!
