Party Panache, Watermelon Ice Cream Pie
For a birthday celebration in the month of July
In lieu of cake I made a pie
Making this pie is a piece of cake
Ice cream and cookies make it a cinch to make
You can put it together in the blink of an eye
Simply put, it’s as easy as pie!
WATERMELON ICE CREAM PIE
An ice cream pie that is pretending to be watermelon!
Ingredients
- 1/2 box chocolate wafer cookies or 2 cups cookie crumbs
- 2 T butter
- 1 quart mint chocolate chip ice cream
- 1 quart white chocolate raspberry or strawberry ice cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- red food coloring
- green food coloring
Instructions
- Crush cookies with a rolling pin or in the food processor. Melt butter in pie dish and add cookie crumbs. Pat into a crust. Refrigerate to set crust.
- Set out mint chocolate chip ice cream for a few minutes to soften. Add green food coloring and stir to darken color. Place a bowl, round cylinder or ring mold in center of crust. Spoon ice cream around mold to form “rind.” Freeze for 1 hour or until ice cream is firm again. Cut around mold with knife and carefully remove, using knife as a lever if necessary to remove mold from crust if necessary.
- Set out strawberry or white chocolate raspberry ice cream to soften. Add red food coloring and mix until desired pink color. Fold in chocolate chips. Put watermelon ice cream in the center of pie dish and smooth out. Add more chocolate chip “seeds” to center if desired. Add more green food coloring to “rind” and swirl with back of spoon. Return pie to freezer to set up, at least 2 hours. Cover pie tightly with foil once it has set. Cut into slices by dipping a knife in hot water. Serve immediately
- 8-10 slices
So next time you need to bake a cake, remember this pie is a snap to make!

Watermelon ice cream reminds me of my flying days. Whenever there was a stop in Memphis the crew would hop off the plane to get a cone of it. Wonder if it’s still available there.
