Ingredients
  

1 pack of mini graham cracker pie crusts (6 count)

2 cups of your favorite ice cream (options include vanilla, chocolate, or a delicious mix)

1/2 cup of mixed toppings (chocolate chips, colorful sprinkles, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts)

1/4 cup of hot fudge or caramel sauce for drizzling

Whipped cream for a fluffy topping

Fresh fruits (such as strawberries or blueberries) for optional garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Crusts: Begin by arranging the mini graham cracker pie crusts on a baking sheet. This makes moving them to the freezer easier later on.

    Ice Cream Softening: Allow your chosen ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. This gentle warming softens the ice cream enough to make scooping and spreading much easier.

      Fill the Crusts: Using a spoon or a small spatula, generously fill each mini pie crust with the softened ice cream, making sure to fill them all the way to the top. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the surface evenly.

        Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle your mixed toppings over the ice cream in each pie. Gently press down on the toppings to ensure they adhere to the ice cream.

          Drizzle the Sauce: Finish your mini pies by drizzling a liberal amount of hot fudge or caramel sauce over the toppings, adding a delightful burst of flavor.

            Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet with the mini ice cream pies in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream has firmed up nicely.

              Serve: Once the mini ice cream pies are completely frozen, take them out of the freezer. Top each pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream and consider adding a few fresh fruits for an attractive garnish.

                Enjoy! For serving, use a sharp knife to easily cut through the graham cracker crust if desired, or let everyone enjoy their own pie straight from the baking sheet for a fun treat!
