Jesus' Birthday Pie

I just know Jesus would love this. :)

I've been making the Christmas Eve dessert for a couple years now and can't wait to make this little yummy. My family LOVES peppermint ice cream, caramel, and chocolate (I guess, who doesn't?!)....so I thought this was perfect!

 

Thanks TASTE of HOME and PINTEREST for this find!

• 1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size)
• 1/2 cup vanilla or white chips
• 1/2 cup 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips
• 1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping
• 1 pint peppermint ice cream, softened
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies
• 
  

  • Prepare brownie batter according to package directions; stir in vanilla and bittersweet chips. Spread onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate.
  • Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes. Gently press down center of crust if necessary. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Drizzle caramel topping over crust; spread evenly with ice cream. Cover and freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
  • Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat cream, confectioners' sugar and extract until stiff peaks form. Spread over ice cream; sprinkle with crushed peppermints.
