Notes
Not a chocolate lover? Then just use a vanilla or strawberry flavored ice cream.
Make sure it is placed straight in the freezer so it won’t make a mess before it sets. It will be a little runny before it hardens up.
Favorite chocolate toppings that we like to use over the finished pie are Magic Shell or hot fudge.
If you have extra pie filling and make the popsicles like I mentioned in the post, here is a tip for getting these or any popsicle out of the mold if you can't get them out easily. Hold the mold under warm water for a few seconds. Then remove them and enjoy!
