Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. two layer chocolate cake mix
- 16 oz. can prepared chocolate frosting
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9" pie pans very generously with solid shortening. Combine cake mix, 3/4 cup prepared frosting, and water in a large bowl; beat well for 2 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips. Spread half of batter only in the bottom of each prepared pie pan.Bake at 350 degrees F. for 18-24 minutes, being very careful not to over bake. Remove from oven when crusts are puffed and the crust looks done. The crusts will collapse when removed from the oven. Cool completely.
When ready to fill pies, layer 4 cups ice cream (any flavor) and 1/2 cup ice cream topping (any flavor) in crusts. You can add nuts, crushed peanut brittle, toffee bits, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and fresh fruit to the pies if you'd like.
Cover and freeze until firm. Remove from freezer 20 minutes before serving. 2 pies, each serving 6-8
