An Ice Cream and Pie Party

Summer Peach Pie

Bourbon, cinnamon, and nutmeg add warmth to this bright summer peach pie from SAVEUR Food Editor Ben Mims.

A scoop of silky ice cream is our favorite summer treat, rivaled only by a buttery piece of pie. Throw a party that lets guests enjoy both: Have each person bring a different pie—try flavors like apple, ginger peach, or chocolate peanut butter—and prepare a range of homemade ice creams, from classics like vanilla to more unexpected varieties like cream cheese sorbet. Follow our menu of suggested pie and ice cream pairings, or encourage guests to mix and match.
