Easy Mint Chip and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Pies are a delectable dessert that you can enjoy all summer long without the guilt!
As much as I try to diet and eat right, my biggest food weakness has got to be ice cream. Working on getting back in shape is on everyone's mind now that summer is on the way. Unfortunately, ice cream is also a great way to cool down in the heat...
These ice cream pies I'm about to share with you have become one of my favorite desserts for two main reasons. First, they are a delightful treat that I have enjoyed devouring, and I think you will too. Second, and most importantly, they are made with low carb ice creams. I like using this for dessert because it's a high-protein and low fat ice cream that combines delicious taste, powerful nutrition, and clean ingredients so you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying dessert!
