The infamous ice cream pie recipe

This absolutely delicious recipe is from Schwan's.  Let me just say it is highly addicting and this recipe is a keeper.  Once you make it following the directions, you will see how easy it would be to adapt it/change it by using different flavors of ice cream and fruits!

Here is the original recipe from the Schwan's catalogue.

Summer's Dream Orange Ice Cream Tart

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp. butter, melted
8 cups Schwan's Summer's Dream Ice Cream, partially thawed
1 tub (8 oz) cool whip or similar
1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained

Mix: graham cracker crumbs and butter

Press: firmly onto bottom and halfway up side of oiled 9-inchh springform pan.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Spoon: and spread half of partially thawed ice cream onto cold graham cracker crust.

Mix: remaining ice cream with whipped topping and gently fold in drained mandarin oranges.

Pour: whipped topping mixture over ice cream and crust.

Freeze: for 2 hours before removing cake from springform pan.

Enjoy!
