New England Soup Factory
An ice box pie refers to a chilled dessert with a no-bake filling -- great for making ahead and serving during warm months of the year. Although Marjorie Druker is known for her soups, she LOVES entertaining, especially with elegant desserts that look labor-intensive, but are "as simple as pie." Crushed vanilla sandwich cookies and butter bake into a simple crust (this is the only baking required for this pie!), which is lined with melted dark chocolate. The quickly-thickened filling contains cups and cups of fresh raspberries. The hardest part of this easy pie? Waiting for it to chill overnight!
