Have you ever heard of sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. No? Neither have I. Well, not the scientific name anyway. I know this as “brain freeze”. And it stinks. So does turning 40. Because I think I developed an acute case of brain freeze right about the same time that I hit that ominous milestone. It seems I can no longer enjoy ice-cold beverages, milkshakes, slushies, and malts because not only will they go to my slowly sagging hips, but they go to my head as well! What a crock!

I have read about several ways to cure brain freeze. And I have tried them all! Imagine how utterly ridiculous I look holding a milkshake in my left hand while holding two fingers from my right hand up to the roof of my mouth! Holding one’s breath doesn’t work either. I’ve almost passed out on that one! Let’s see, I’ve also tried tilting my head while drinking, and breathing in through my nose and exhaling through my mouth and frankly, all those just make me look stupid. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally fine with looking stupid if those so-called “cures” actually worked!

The good news through all this is that my brain does not freeze if I simply eat ice cream…slowly. Thank heavens. What would I do if I couldn’t enjoy a creamy, cool bowl of my favorite ice cream! Ice cream has a way of making people happy, you cannot frown while eating ice cream.

Ice Cream Pie With All My Favorites:

This ice cream pie has all my favorite things; chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, chocolate, caramel and hot fudge! I used mini chocolate chip cookies as the crust and then layered vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce, caramel sauce and cookie crumbs! Holy moly this is the mother of all ice cream pies!

This is such in an easy dessert to throw together and can be altered in so many fun ways! And just like this Oreo Ice Cream, Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Dessert, Peanut Butter Cup No-Churn Ice Cream Cake, or this Extreme Caramel Milkshake, this pie would be worth putting up with brain freeze for sure!
