GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM PIE

Note: This pie needs to freeze approximately one hour before serving!

1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
2 cups crispy rice cereal
1/4 cup sour cream
1 quart chocolate chip ice cream, softened

Lightly spray the bottom of sides of a 9-inch pie plate with butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a small microwave-safe bowl combine the chocolate syrup with the chocolate chips. Microwave on high about 45 seconds or until hot. Stir until all the chips have melted and the mixture is smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture.

In a medium bowl combine the remaining chocolate mixture with the crispy rice cereal and mix well to coat all the cereal with chocolate. Press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of the pie plate to form a crust. Put in the freezer until the crust is firm. This should take about 15 minutes. Allow ice cream to soften during this time.

In a small bowl combine the reserved chocolate mixture and the sour cream; mix well.
Spread half of the ice cream in the prepared pie shell. Drizzle half the sour cream mixture over the ice cream in the crust. Top with the remaining half of the ice cream and drizzle with the remaining sour cream mixture. Cover and freeze for about an hour or until firm.
