Blueberry Frozen Delight

Do you ever need a dessert...something fast & easy, but still special?
This frozen treat from Taste Of Home is perfect for that kind of time. You could easily substitute cherry or any other kind of pie filling as well. Take a look...



1-1/2 cups crushed Graham crackers
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 quart French vanilla ice cream, softened
1 can (21 ounces) blueberry pie filling

In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and cinnamon; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform* pan; set aside.
Place ice cream in a large bowl; gently fold in pie filling.
Spread over crust. Cover and freeze until firm.
Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Remove sides of springform* pan.

*If you don't have a springform pan, you can use an 11 x 8 x 2 inch glass baking dish. Grease it with shortening or spray it well with cooking spray before putting the crust into it and baking.
