This maple ice cream pie is my go to dessert when I want something impressive but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. With just 45 minutes total from start to table, you get a stunning spiced crust filled with creamy vanilla ice cream and drizzled with pure maple syrup. The best part? Maple syrup isn't just delicious, it's packed with antioxidants and minerals that make this treat feel a little less guilty. The spiced shortbread base is wonderfully simple to pull together, and everything comes together so easily that you'll find yourself making this again and again for family gatherings and casual weeknight dinners alike.

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Prepare the crust by mixing together flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Tip: Use a gentle touch when combining dry ingredients.

Add the melted butter, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to the dry mixture. Mix until the dough forms a ball.
Tip: Chill the dough for 5 minutes before rolling it out.
- 3
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm. Press the dough into a pie dish and trim the edges.
Tip: Use a pastry brush to prevent the dough from sticking.

Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tip: Allow the crust to cool completely before filling.

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Tip: Don't over-whip, as this will make the cream too stiff.
- 6
In a separate bowl, mix together the vanilla ice cream, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
Tip: Use a whisk or spatula to combine the ingredients smoothly.
- 7
Fold the whipped cream into the ice cream mixture until well combined.
Tip: Be gentle when folding to avoid deflating the cream.

Pour the ice cream mixture into the cooled pie crust.
Tip: Use a spatula to smooth out any air pockets.

Drizzle the maple syrup over the top of the pie in a zig-zag pattern.

It's basically a one bowl wonder that never fails to impress.
