Party Panache, Donut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie
HHjr’s sons, Super Boy and Big E, both have May birthdays
They are 4 years apart
and their birthdays are 4 days apart
Oh how time flies!
They’re now 13 and 9
they each had their own parties with their friends
and then last weekend we had a big family celebration
The boys requested steak for dinner
so we had teriyaki steak kebabs,
grilled vegetable kebabs,
Ez Ranch Hash Brown Potato Casserole
and
Drum Roll please…
Donut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie!
When I saw this recipe on Plain Chicken,
it literally had Super Boy’s name written all over it
{forgive the pun} 😂
Currently his 3 favorite things are glazed donuts,
chocolate and ice cream,
it was meant to be!
It’s a very simple recipe with a graham cracker crust,
no churn ice cream, chocolate chips and donuts
You can use a purchased graham cracker crust,
but making your own is so easy with packaged graham cracker crumbs
and melted butter~
and you can put it in a spring form pan
which makes serving a breeze
I used thawed Cool Whip to save a step
but you can whip heavy cream if your prefer
You simply combine the whipped cream
with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla
and stir in donut pieces and chocolate chips
Into the crust it goes and then into the freezer
Once it was frozen, I added his name with chocolate chips
{Since we were having it only 1 day after Super Boy’s birthday
and it had his favorite ingredients I didn’t put Big E’s name on it–
he had his own favorite Chocolate Mint Chip ice cream cake earlier in the week}

What fun you’ve had celebrating two birthdays for these sweet boys. And, they are lucky boys to have you making something so special for their birthdays. Jenna, I would be tempted to indulge in this very delicious donut desert! Happy Birthday to your boys………
Thanks so much Emily, they devoured the cake!
I meant pie 😂
Fun and delicious as always Jenna!
Thanks Martha, they loved it!
Happy Birthday to Eli & Fox! I love what good eaters they are – they’ve learned from the best.
Thanks Rita!
Happy Birthday to Eli and Fox! The ice cream pie looks insanely GOOD and how creative you are, Jenna! I would have never thought of pairing donuts and ice cream together in a pie form. Fascinating and fun!
Thanks Angie, not exactly gourmet, but they loved it, a child’s delight!
Happy Birthday to both Eli and Fox! That cake looks most scrumptious! Enjoy your day, Jenna!
Thank you Shannon!
Happy birthday to Eli and Fox! They are so blessed to have you making wonderful memories of food and family with every occasion so special. Oh my the the donut chocolate chip ice cream pie looks fabulous, I wonder the calorie count for a small slice. Calories don’t count when you are celebrating birthdays. Happy Wednesday!
There eyes really popped when I told them what was for dessert 😂 Thanks Pam!
Wow… all I can say is Eli and Fox are pretty darn lucky to have that yummy cake to celebrate their big day! I wish that I had a piece with my coffee this morning. Have a great week, Jenna.
Thanks Katie, they loved it!
What a treat for your grandsons!!! Happy Birthday to them–time does fly as kids grow! I didn’t know it was possible to make doughnuts any more decadent than they already are. The prize goes to JENNA!
haha, yes, donuts are decadent enough by themselves, but they got very excited when I brought out this ice cream donut pie!
Time does fly, but I’m sure they still love this!
Yes, they lapped it up!
That sounds delicious! Pinned.
The boys loved it, thanks Joanne!
I think I gained five pounds just by reading this post! YUMMY!
I know, right???
Happy Birthday to your grandsons!! You make the best treats for your family, Jenna. I’m sure that both boys loved their own special ice cream cakes.
Thank you Kitty, that donut pie was a huge hit!
A belated Happy Birthday to Eli and Fox, I know that you made each of their birthdays very special. You are right, that pie does seem meant to be.
It was definitely over the top but they loved it!
