Recipes Tips
For best results, soften the peppermint ice cream at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping it into the crust. This will make it easier to spread and prevent the crust from breaking.
You can also add some chopped chocolate or fudge sauce between the ice cream and the whipped cream layer for extra flavor.
If you want to make the whipped cream ahead of time, store it in the fridge for up to 4 hours and re-whip it before serving.
