And if you want to turn this into a non-alcoholic drink, check below for notes on how to do that.
How to Make Frozen French Silk Pie Cocktails
You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!
- Let the ice cream sit out briefly to soften.
- Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour into a freezer-safe container, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- To serve, stir the mixture and pour into glasses. Then top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings!
It’s an alcoholic drink that’s been frozen before serving. They tend to be more of a slushy consistency, so need to be stirred and broken up regularly.
Amaretto is an almond flavor rather than hazelnut, but it would still work here as a substitution. Hazelnut extract or hazelnut syrup could be used to add the flavor, without the liqueur.
You can use any brand you prefer! I recommend using something of decent quality (i.e. that you like the taste of), but not your most prized bottle.
Chocolate ice cream is best to give you a true french silk pie flavor in this cocktail. But you use another flavor and this would still taste great. Classic vanilla works well, or try a hazelnut ice cream or coffee flavored ice cream!
Tips!
- You want the ice cream to be cold, but soft enough to mix. I recommend letting it sit out for about 15 minutes, rather than microwaving.
- Use a large, freezer-safe container to freeze this cocktail. You can pour it into multiple containers if you need to.
- The frozen cocktail will taste super creamy, but will be on the slushy side when you take it out of the freezer.
- These can be kept in the freezer as long as needed, but they will be best if served within 2 days.
How can I make this without alcohol?
This frozen cocktail recipe can definitely be turned into a non-alcoholic drink if you prefer.
To do this: leave out the rum and bourbon, then replace the Frangelico with a hazelnut syrup. You might need to add a bit more milk to get the right consistency. Just add a little more at a time as you mix. It’ll be more like a french silk pie milkshake that everyone can enjoy!
Can I make these cocktails with dairy free ice cream and milk?
Absolutely! You can make a dairy-free version and it will still be just as delicious. Coconut-based ice creams and milks make a nice replacement, but you can use any substitute you prefer.
How can I make the pie crust cookies?
The pie crust cookies are optional, but they’re really easy to make! Plus they look really cute with this frozen french silk pie cocktail, and finish off the drink really nicely.
To make:
Use a store-bought, pre-baked pie crust, and cut out any shape with a cookie cutter. The heart shape looks nice, and would be perfect if serving this for a Valentine’s Day treat. But you can use any cookie shape you want.
You can use them solely as garnish, or you can add a cinnamon sugar coating and bake them in the oven!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
