Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

2 cups ice cream (any flavor you desire)

1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup chocolate chips or fresh fruit (for topping)

Optional: caramel or chocolate sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup of melted unsalted butter, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture has a sandy texture.

      Form the Crust:

        - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

          - Take a mini muffin tin and firmly pack the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, making sure to compact it well.

            - Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.

              Fill with Ice Cream:

                - After the crusts have cooled, allow your chosen ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.

                  - Use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to fill each mini crust with ice cream, pressing it down gently to eliminate any air pockets and smoothing the top.

                    Add Whipped Cream:

                      - Top each filled pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out and cover the ice cream completely for a luscious finish.

                        Chill:

                          - Carefully place the mini ice cream pies in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours, or until the ice cream has firmed up again, ensuring they're ready to serve.

                            Garnish and Serve:

                              - Just before serving, add your choice of toppings by sprinkling chocolate chips or fresh fruit over the whipped cream. For an indulgent touch, drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce.

                                - Serve immediately for a delightful treat, or store in the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy!
