Need a patriotic-looking dessert for Memorial Day? This cool Red, White And Blueberry Ice Cream Pie With Granola Crust has got you covered. Swirls of blueberry and raspberry sauces cover vanilla ice cream in a nutty, crunchy granola crust. You can make the pie ahead of time, so that’s a bonus.
Red, White And Blueberry Ice Cream Pie With Granola Crust
Ingredients:
2 cups granola without raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
3 cups vanilla ice cream or low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt, softened
Ingredients for raspberry sauce:
6 oz fresh raspberries (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Ingredients for blueberry sauce:
6 oz fresh blueberries (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
2. In a food processor, pulse granola and walnuts until fine crumbs form. Add butter and honey and pulse just until blended. Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of prepared pie plate.
3. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
4. Spread ice cream into prepared crust. Freeze, covered, for at least 2 hours.
5. In a small saucepan, combine raspberry sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil then decrease heat to medium and cook, uncovered, 5-7 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, do the same with the blueberry sauce ingredients.
6. Cool and press each sauce separately through a fine mesh strainer into separate bowls.
7. Transfer each sauce into a resealable plastic bag. Snip a small hole in corner of each bag.
8. Decorate pie as desired. I swirled most of the sauces over the pie, but be sure to see how pretty Marina’s pie is using a lighter touch of sauce.
9.Freeze pie, covered, until serving time. Serve with any remaining raspberry and blueberry sauces. Serves 8

Welcome Center (Jesse Smith and Aaron Sternick) released a new single from their forthcoming EP “Talk Talk Talk” due out this summer. “Parasite City” delivers comfy indie-pop with all the flourishes one could want from the genre. It’s ace…just perfect for long weekend listening.
The video for ‘Parasite City’ gives off bad ass Rejection with a capital R vibes. It’s a crazy video. And did I mention that the song is ace?
