Ingredients
Mint chocolate chip ice cream or frozen yogurt
6 cups (softened)
Chocolate graham wafer pie crust or chocolate crumb crust
1 (9 inch) (store-bought or homemade)
Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
1
Begin by preparing your pie crust. If using a store-bought chocolate graham wafer crust, ensure it's ready for filling.
2
In a large mixing bowl, soften the mint chocolate chip ice cream or frozen yogurt slightly, making it easier to scoop out.
3
Spoon the softened ice cream into the prepared pie crust, mounding it higher in the center to create an appealing shape.
4
In a microwave-safe bowl, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave them in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
5
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the ice cream using a spoon or a piping bag for more control. This will add a beautiful visual touch and extra chocolatey flavor.
6
Carefully cover the pie with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure it's fully set.
7
When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
8
Use a sharp knife to slice the pie into wedges. Serve and enjoy every delicious bite!
