Ingredients

Serves 8 

  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup

Directions
  1. 1

    Coat bottom and sides of an 8-inch pie plate lightly with butter.

Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

To get clean, even slices of pie, Grandma first filled a bowl with hot water. She made a cut, then dipped the knife in the hot water and wiped it off. The hot knife sliced right through the frozen ice cream and crust with a minimum of effort. And that made it easier to cut the pie into 8 slices instead of 6.
