These Pie Crust Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect way to make a fun treat out of leftover pie dough or to just treat yourself to something delectable. The pie dough is really easy to make and comes together quickly. Vanilla ice cream can either be scooped or sliced from a carton and added in between the two pie crusts.

Ingredients

Pie Dough

  • 150 grams (1 1/4 cup) flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 113 grams (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, chilled
  • 23 tbsp ice water

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp water
  • Turbinado sugar, for topping

Assembly

  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Blend the chilled butter into the flour mixture with your hands or a pastry blender until the butter is about pea sized.
  4. Pour the water over the flour mixture and stir together until it begins to form into a dough.
  5. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 20-30 minutes.
  6. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4? thick. Use a round cookie cutter, about 4 inches in diameter, to cut out 6 circles.
  7. Place pie circles a few inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet and use a fork to gently poke a few holes in the top of each.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash.
  9. Carefully brush the top of each pie circle with egg wash and sprinkle each with turbinado sugar.
  10. Bake pie circles for 20-21 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack and letting them cool completely.
  12. If you're going to slice the ice cream, carefully cut and peel away the ice cream container from the ice cream and cut slices of ice cream. You can then use the same or a slightly smaller cookie cutter to cut out the same size ice cream as the pie crust. You can also gently scoop ice cream onto the pie crust.
  13. Add other pie crust on top and gently press down. Repeat this process to make the other two sandwiches.
  14. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don't have round cookie cutters, you can also use any kind of glass or cup that is about the same size in diameter.
  • Ice cream sandwiches are best when eaten right away, but can be wrapped in plastic or placed in a freezer safe container and frozen until ready to eat later that day. You can also make the pie crusts and keep them in an airtight container until you are ready to assemble the sandwiches
