Cherries Jubilee Ice Cream Pie
All the flavors of the classic summertime dessert combine in this easy-to-prepare pie. Since the cherries are cooked, frozen ones work just fine--and they save you the trouble of pitting fresh ones.

This pie has received rave reviews from everyone to whom I have served it, and I've shared the recipe often. The crust in the recipe is best (delicious!), but if you are in a hurry and need to use the store-bought graham cracker crusts, be aware that this amount of filling will overfill one of them, so you may need to use two, or save some of the filling for another use (like just eating with a spoon!). Another change I have made occasionally is using Marsala instead of brandy, when I was out of brandy, and the flavor was just as wonderful. This recipe requires only a moderate amount of effort, with ingredients easily found, for a big payoff. It get 5 stars in my book.
