Kelly Senyei—founder of the Just a Taste blog and author of The Secret Ingredient Cookbook—shares her easy and endlessly adaptable ice cream pie recipe. The secret ingredient? Waffle or sugar cones, which are used to make the crust! 

"Every time I buy ice cream cones, I open the box and am met with a handful of intact cones and a whole lot more broken pieces. When life gives you shattered cones, make ice cream pie! Both waffle and sugar cones are easily transformed into pie crust, but I prefer the buttery flavor of the waffle variety. It's only the first of several decisions you'll be making when using this ultimate ice cream pie template. Get creative with your ice cream flavors and toppings, because the combinations are truly endless." —Kelly 

Note: The ice cream cones must be finely crushed so that they can be tightly packed into the pie plate to form the crust.
