Black Forest Ice Cream Pie is a fun and delicious dessert that combines the flavors of a classic Black Forest cake with the creaminess of ice cream. The tartness of the cherries complements the sweetness of the chocolate chip ice cream, and the crunchy ice cream cone crust adds a nice texture. This dessert is perfect for summer gatherings or special occasions, and it is easy to customize by using different ice cream flavors or toppings.

2.	In a food processor, pulse ice cream cones until finely ground.
