  • Allow to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to allow to easier cutting 
  • Can easily double this recipe; use a 9”x13” pan instead
  • If substituting a traditional pastry pie crust, blind bake the pie crust until golden brown and allow to cool completely before filling 
  • Try substituting other flavors of ice cream: butter brickle, chocolate chip, butter pecan etc.
