An easy no-bake ice cream whopper pie is the perfect creamy chilled dessert to serve all summer long! Made with two kinds of ice cream, whipped topping, and Whopper malted milk balls, this fun ice cream pie is as impressive to look at as it is easy to make!
This ice cream whopper pie is a no-bake, chilled dessert that’s quick and easy to whip up with just a handful of ingredients. Similar to my cookies and cream ice cream pie, the results are a luscious, creamy, and fluffy ice cream pie with pieces of candy whoppers in every bite.
It’s topped with a whipped topping, chocolate drizzle, and even more whoppers, and is a treat we look forward to when the weather warms up!
Of course, you can enjoy it year-round, but there’s something extra refreshing about a chilled dessert on a hot day.
The combination of chocolate and vanilla ice cream is a favorite around here, but you can use one or the other if you prefer. I also use a store-bought crust, but if you have some extra time, feel free to make it from scratch!
Why You’ll Love Whopper Pie
- Made with just 5 ingredients! Well, 6 if you want the optional chocolate syrup which I highly recommend.
- It’s homemade but nothing is made from scratch, which makes it super easy to whip up. No one will guess it though because it looks incredible!
- A no-bake dessert that is cool, creamy, fluffy, and frozen. A great alternative to the Snickers ice cream cake for birthday parties!
- Since there is no need to turn on the oven, the kids can make it themselves.
How to Make Ice Cream Whopper Pie
Ingredients –
- Chocolate Graham Cracker pie crust: You can pick up a pie shell from the freezer section of your local grocery store. You can also make it yourself if you’ve got an extra few minutes.
- Whoppers candy: Also known as malted milk balls, these are chocolate-covered malt balls that have a honeycomb texture on the inside. They’re crispy and crunchy, and add a fun texture to the creamy pie.
- Chocolate and vanilla ice cream: I love the combination of using both. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften up.
- Cool whip: Thaw it ahead of time.
- Chocolate syrup: An optional drizzle of chocolate sauce is a great way to finish each slice just before serving.
Directions –
- Combine ice creams with Cool Whip. In a large bowl, mix the softened ice creams and tub of whipped topping until combined. The Cool Whip will help to lighten the consistency even more, giving it extra fluff!
- Add the candy. Fold in the crushed Whopper candies until evenly dispersed.
- Assemble and chill. Pour the ice cream mixture into the pie shell and top with the remaining crushed candy. Freeze it for at least 5 hours until it’s very firm.
- Garnish and serve. Once out of the freezer, spread additional whipped topping on top, add more Whoppers (you can use whole Whoppers or crushed), and drizzle chocolate syrup if desired.
If you’re not going to serve it yet, place it back in the freezer until you’re ready.
Recipe Tips & Substitutions
- Use a regular graham cracker crust if you prefer. Chocolate is just one option! you could also make this with a crust with Oreo cookies if you want.
- Despite this dessert being called a Whopper Pie, you could use the recipe and make it your own using a different type of mix-in. Broken pieces of Reese’s peanut butter cup, Butterfinger, snickers, or bits of cookie would be great!
- To make a homemade crust, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press it into the pie plate and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before using it.
FAQs
Since this is a frozen dessert, you definitely want to keep it in the freezer until you’re ready to serve it. It will be solid, so you’ll want to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.
Place the Whoppers in a Ziploc bag and let as much of the air out as possible before zipping it up. Otherwise, it may explode! Use a rolling pin to crush the pieces. You can also do this with a food processor.
