Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chocolate syrup

1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

2 cups crisp rice cereal

1/4 cup sour cream

1quart chocolate chip ice cream, softened

Directions:

Coat bottom and sides of an 8" pie plate lightly with butter

Combine chocolate syrup and chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until hot, about 45 seconds. Stir until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the chocolate mixture.

Combine remaining chocolate mixture and cereal in a medium bowl and mix to coat cereal. Press mixture over bottom and up sides of prepared pie plate. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.

Combine reserved chocolate mixture and the sour cream in a small bowl and mix well. Spread half the ice cream in the prepared pie plate. Drizzle with half the sour cream mixture. Top with remaining ice cream and drizzle with remaining sour cream mixture. Freeze pie, covered, until firm, about 1 hour.

For easier slicing, fill a bowl with hot water. Dip the knife in the hot water and wipe it off before each slice. The hot knife slices right through the ice cream.
