The only trick to this fruit-flecked pie created by Sweet Rose Creamery in Santa Monica, CA, is making sure it gets 6 hours in the freezer to firm up.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

6 ounces gingersnap cookies
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 pint peach ice cream, softened in refrigerator for 20 minutes
2 cups whipped cream (made from 1 cup heavy cream)
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Finely grind cookies in a food processor (you should have about 1 1/3 cups). Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl. Add butter and cream; stir to coat. Press firmly onto bottom and up sides of a 9" pie dish. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Toss 1 3/4 cups blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl; let macerate at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Transfer blueberry mixture to a large heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat until berries soften and juices are released, 10-15 minutes. Strain berries through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Cover and chill juices and berries separately until cold.

    Step 4

    Mix softened ice cream with chilled cooked blueberries. Scrape ice cream mixture into crust; smooth top. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. DO AHEAD: Pie can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep frozen.

    Step 5

    Soften pie in refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream; scatter remaining 1/4 cup fresh blueberries over. Garnish with ginger. Drizzle each slice with reserved blueberry juices.
