This butter brickle ice cream pie is my husband’s absolute favorite summertime dessert. I often serve it to company in warm-weather months. Everyone loves the rich butter-pecan flavor. —Brenda Jackson, Garden City, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
  • 1/2 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle chips
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk, divided
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle chips

Directions

  1. Spread half of the ice cream into crust. Sprinkle with toffee bits. Spoon remaining ice cream over top. Cover and freeze until firm.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, corn syrup, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Combine cornstarch and remaining milk until smooth; gradually add to sugar mixture.
  3. Return to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Cool to room temperature, stirring several times. Stir in toffee bits. Refrigerate until serving.
  4. Just before serving, transfer sauce to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30-60 seconds or until heated through, stirring once. Serve with pie.
