Notes
A premade graham cracker crust can be used to save time.
Allow each layer to freeze before adding the next to keep layers neat and defined.
Softening the ice cream for about 10 minutes makes spreading easier.
Using the back of a spoon helps create a smooth ice cream layer.
Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
Store the pie in the freezer for up to 5 days.
