Note

Crust Preparation: The recipe mentions a "pre prepared crust." You can use a pre-made graham cracker or chocolate cookie crust. Ensure it is fully set before adding the ice cream.

Ice Cream Type: Vanilla ice cream is traditional for this recipe, but chocolate ice cream works well too. Ensure the ice cream is softened enough to spread easily but not melted.

Storage: Keep the pie in the freezer until ready to serve. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing for easier cutting and best texture.

Variations: You can use other flavors of ice cream like strawberry or coffee, but mint-flavored Junior Mints pair best with vanilla or chocolate bases.
