Black Forest Freezer Pie

Ingredients

1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened
1 – 9 oz. graham cracker crust
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 – 8 oz. carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 can cherry pie filling, chilled
3 tbsp. chocolate syrup

Directions

~Spoon ice cream into pie crust; cover and freeze for 15 minutes.

~Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth; fold in whipped topping. Set aside 1-1/2 cups for garnish.
