Most of us think of pies as complicated, ovenbaked affairs. But icebox pies are different: theyre easy. Theres no rolling of pastry doughthe crusts are cookie crumbs, patted into the pan and quickly crisped in the oven. The fillings are either uncooked or prepared on the stovetop. The pies set in the refrigerator or freezer for a few hours before being served. And thats all there is to it. Pies this simple dont need to be reserved for special occasions. They can be made in minutes and served anytime. Icebox Pies/emphasis begins with a chapter on inventive crumb crusts and ends with a chapter on luscious toppings, and in between are the delectable pies themselves. Theres a chapter on indulgent mousse, pudding, and custard pies, with selections as downhome as Marshmallow Pie (its just what it sounds like) and as refined as Toasted Almond Semifreddo Pie (made even more special with an Amaretti Crust). If you love chocolate, theres a whole chapter just for you, where youll find Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie, Triple Chocolate Mint Pie, Black Bottom Butterscotch Pie, and more. Theres also a chapter on scrumptious fruitandcream combinations, including Lime Cream and Strawberry Pie and Cherry and Mascarpone Cream Pie. There are plenty of ways to use ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet to make the simplest icebox pies. There are lots of kidfriendly desserts in this chapter, like Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Pie and Banana Split Ice Cream Pie (try it with the Sugar Cone Crust). But there are also some surprisingly grownup desserts for casual entertaining.
