- Electric Mixer: A versatile tool for mixing ingredients efficiently; ideal for making ice cream bases where eggs are whipped to create air bubbles, enhancing texture.
- Silicone Baking Mat / Parchment Paper Sheets: These provide a non-stick surface for rolling out crusts and can help in ensuring an evenly cooked pie base without sticking issues.
- Pie Dish (9 or 10 inches): A round, metal dish that serves as the container for assembling and baking your ice cream pie with warm berry compote.
Spatula (Pie Dish Splatter Shield)
- Ice Cream Scoop/Spatula: For portioning ice cream neatly; ensuring even layers in your dessert. The spatula side is handy for smoothing out any imperfections on the pie surface.
- Pie Server or Fork with Serrated Bread Clip: A specialized tool to easily cut and serve slices of your ice cream pie, maintaining its shape when serving.
- Food Processor (with Dough Blade): Can be used to chop the berries finely for a smooth compote or to blend ingredients together quickly if you're making a homemade vanilla ice cream base from scratch.
- Freezer-safe Container with Lids (e.g., Tupperware): Essential for storing the prepared berry compote and potentially prepped crust or other components to be assembled as needed.
- Airtight Plastic Bag (Sleeve Size Appropriate): Useful for keeping any unused ingredients, like homemade vanilla extract or extra ice cream base elements, fresh until you're ready to use them.
