Description
A decadent no-bake Drumstick Pie featuring a crunchy sugar cone and graham cracker crust, a creamy vanilla ice cream layer, topped with rich chocolate ganache, crushed sugar cones, and roasted peanuts for the perfect blend of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 sugar cones
- 6 graham crackers
- 6 Tbsp. melted butter
- 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 qt. vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
- 7 sugar cones, divided
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Make ganache: Heat heavy cream until bubbles form around edges, pour over semisweet chocolate chips, let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare crust: Pulse 6 sugar cones and graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix crumbs with melted butter, sugar, and salt. Press mixture firmly into a greased 9-inch pie dish, covering bottom and sides.
- Add ice cream layer: Spread softened vanilla ice cream evenly into crust, pressing gently. Optionally add chocolate chips or chopped fruits into ice cream. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Assemble and freeze: Pour cooled ganache over ice cream layer evenly, allowing some drizzle down sides. Crush remaining 7 sugar cones and sprinkle on top along with chopped peanuts. Freeze pie for at least 4 hours until solid.
Notes
- Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free graham crackers or nut-based crust.
- Dairy-free option: Substitute vanilla ice cream with coconut or almond milk-based ice creams and use coconut cream for ganache.
- Nut-free option: Replace peanuts with crushed sunflower seeds or omit.
- Flavor variations: Add crushed fruit like strawberries or peaches, or swirl caramel sauce into the ice cream layer.
