Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Make sure to press firmly to create a solid crust.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
Soften the guava ice cream slightly by letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Once softened, spoon the ice cream into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the guava preserves over low heat until melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted guava preserves over the top of the ice cream layer.
-
Sprinkle the diced fresh guava over the guava preserves layer.
-
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
-
Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
-
Garnish the pie with a dollop of whipped cream, mint leaves, and additional diced guava if desired.
