Honestly, either works, I’m not sure we could pick a favorite based on taste alone. Not exactly appetizing.īut, I turned a failure into an opportunity to test out two different variations, one with an egg-based ice cream and another using an eggless ice cream method inspired by Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams with corn syrup, cornstarch, and cream cheese (I used mascarpone) to enhance the texture. I spent too much time shooting the whole pie so that when I finally sliced into it, it was a big, goopy mess. Not intentionally, but the first one wasn’t cooperating as I was shooting it (90+ degree days and ice cream pies don’t exactly make things easy). I actually made two versions of this pie. Chocolate mint leaves? Or, better yet (and easier too!) a drizzle of melted chocolate and a dusting of matcha powder. I better order a different pie pan, one with a removable bottom. OR, what about adding a layer of homemade fudge sauce instead? To chocolate chip or not to chocolate chip? If I’m going to make mint ice cream it really needs to use fresh mint.īut I want green mint ice cream. I really love this old ice cream mud pie recipe. I mean, a heaping scoop of fresh mint ice cream would would be lovely and all, but when you get a crisp triangular slice of ice cream in a sweet and salty chocolate cookie crust…įor the same reason that ice cream sandwiches are the bomb (hello sweet + salty) applies to this pie too.Īlso? That hidden layer of fudge sauce in the bottom puts this one over the top. The easiest way to make ice cream more impressive? Put it in a pie crust. What better natural green color is there? But in the end, the matcha does so much more than that, adding another layer of flavor to the bright, fresh mint. The idea to add matcha started with a desire for a green mint without food coloring. Once you’ve tried fresh mint ice cream you’ll never be able to eat anything else! The fresh mint flavor of this ice cream pie is what makes it truly unique, and so much better than the jarring, mouthwashy mint flavor that comes from mint extract. Matcha mint ice cream pie, anyone? Featuring homemade fresh mint ice cream with a hint of matcha for color and flavor, frozen in a sweet and salty cookie crust with a hidden layer of fudge sauce.
