Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade if preferred)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup strawberry ice cream
- 1/4 cup blueberry ice cream
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Begin by rolling out your refrigerated pie crusts on a clean surface. Use a round cookie cutter to make symmetrical circles.
- Place half of your pie circles onto your prepared baking sheet. Scoop approximately one tablespoon of vanilla ice cream into the center of each pie circle. Follow this by placing small, alternating scoops of the strawberry and blueberry ice creams.
- Gently cover each filled circle with another pie circle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal everything in. Use a sharp knife to cut tiny slits on each pie’s top, allowing steam to escape during baking.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until thoroughly combined. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the top of each pie with this wash. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place the pies in the oven and let them bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Once the pies are done, let them cool slightly. Serve them as they are or with extra scoops of your favorite ice cream on the side.
Notes
For added flair, dust the final product with a light layer of confectioners’ sugar before serving. Don’t skimp on the egg wash, as it contributes to the pies’ golden color and desired crispiness. Ensure your ice cream is hard when filling the pies to prevent them from becoming too soft during assembly.
