Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Pie

Have you enjoyed ice cream this summer,  especially with all of the warm weather we have had. It is still hot here in southern Florida and maybe where you are, so I thought why not an ice cream pie. Although it does NOT have to be hot to eat ice cream.

Some Ice Cream Facts:

1. The U.S. eats more ice cream than any other country. The average American eats about 20 quarts of ice cream a year. New Zealand is second and Australia is third.
