VANILLA ICE CREAM PIE 
1/4 c. butter
1 1/3 c. fine vanilla wafer crumbs (about 40 wafers)
2 pts. vanilla ice cream or frozen low fat vanilla yogurt, slightly softened
3 c. mixed fruits (we used blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries & nectarines)
1 kiwi fruit, peeled & cut in sm. wedges
For decoration: fresh mint sprig

1. Melt butter in a medium size saucepan or microwave safe bowl. Remove from heat. Add wafer crumbs and stir until well moistened. Press evenly over bottom and up sides of a 9" pie plate. Freeze 30 minutes or until firm.

2. Spread half the ice cream in the crust. Add a layer of half the fruits (except the kiwi).

3. Using a large serving spoon or ice cream spade, spoon remaining ice cream over top. Freeze at least 3 hours or overnight.

4. Before serving, top with remaining fruits including kiwi. Decorate with mint. Refrigerate about 10 minutes to soften ice cream slightly. Makes 8 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
