You’ve heard the old saying “easy as pie”
well, it must have been this pie they were talking about!
It doesn’t get any easier than this!
I used Trader Joe’s Candied Pecans,
but you can use any pecans~
see notes in the printable recipe near the end of this post
Give the pecans a rough chop
Combine Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter,
maple syrup and pecans in a large mixing bowl
Gently fold everything together
Add a drizzle of caramel
Fold the caramel into the ice cream
Transfer mixture into the pie crust
If you don’t want to use a ready made graham crust,
use any pie crust you want
or make your own cookie crust~
Shortbread cookies or Pecan Sandies would be great

Cover and freeze at least 6 hours before serving

Cut into wedges to serve
Drizzle slice with more caramel if desired
Yes, please! 😋
