Ingredients
Crust
- 25 Oreo Cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
Filling & Toppings
- 1 quart Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
- 4 ounces Hot Fudge Sauce
- 8 ounces Whipped Cream (Cool Whip or homemade)
- 3 Oreo Cookies, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Add 25 Oreos into a blender or food processor and blend until you have fine crumbs throughout.
- Mix crust ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until you get a pasty, combined mixture.
- Form the crust: Press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie pan to create the crust. Make sure it is packed firmly for clean slices later.
- Freeze the crust: Place the crust in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes until it is firm and set.
- Soften the ice cream: Let the mint chocolate chip ice cream soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes to make spreading easier.
- Fill the pie: Scoop and spread the softened ice cream evenly into the prepared crust and across the top. Press lightly to smooth the surface.
- Freeze to set the filling: Transfer the pie back to the freezer and let it harden for at least 4 hours, allowing the ice cream to firm up.
- Add hot fudge topping: Remove the pie from the freezer and drizzle the top with 4 ounces of hot fudge sauce for a rich chocolate layer.
- Garnish with Oreos: Chop the remaining 3 Oreo cookies and sprinkle them over the fudge-topped pie for added texture and decoration.
- Add whipped cream: Pipe or spread the whipped cream around the edges of the pie to finish the presentation.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice the pie into 8 pieces and serve immediately for a deliciously cool treat.
Notes
- Use full-fat ice cream for the creamiest texture.
- Press the crust firmly and evenly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Allow ice cream to soften slightly for easier spreading but do not let it melt completely.
- For homemade whipped cream, whip heavy cream with a little sugar until stiff peaks form.
- This pie is best enjoyed within 24 hours of assembly for optimal texture and flavor.
- Store leftover pie covered in the freezer to avoid ice crystals.
