Pie Filling On Ice Cream

Well, Allison is out of town, and I thought I would pick myself a nice little ice cream treat to cheer myself up.  I decided that I would check out the various ice cream accoutrement available at my local store as well.  I saw all the chocolate, butterscotch and caramel sauces, but nothing stood out to me at all.  Then on the shelf I noticed that the cans of strawberry pie filling seemed to be implying that it was also good on ice cream.

I rarely pass up the opportunity to try a new treat idea, particularly one that is gelatinous and in a can.  So how was it on ice cream?

I have to say that it wasn't as successful as I'd hoped.  First of all the filling is a little thick to be poured on ice cream.  I was expecting a more syrup type application of strawberries with a few whole canned strawberries inside.  Instead it was more like pouring a Jello like jam substance on my ice cream, and as you can see it kept sliding off my ice cream into the bottom of the bowl.  The flavour was also super sweet, and mixed with a sweet ice cream it didn't work at all.  It needs the savory crust to balance it out a little.
