Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies (with filling)
- 48 oz (1.4 L) cookies and cream ice cream
- 10 Oreo cookies (with filling)
- ⅓ cup (80 mL) salted butter (melted and cooled)
- ½ cup (120 mL) chocolate sauce
- Whipped topping
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor, blending until achieving a uniform, powdery consistency.
- Binding the Base: Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter, mixing thoroughly until the mixture resembles damp, compacted sand that holds together when pressed.
- Crust Molding: Press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, creating an even, compact layer that covers the entire surface, including sides and bottom, then freeze to solidify.
- Flavor Enhancement: Roughly chop remaining Oreo cookies into irregular chunks to introduce textural contrast in the final dessert.
- Ice Cream Layering: Soften cookies and cream ice cream at room temperature for 10 minutes, then spread half the ice cream evenly across the chilled crust, ensuring complete coverage.
- Chocolate Embellishment: Drizzle chocolate sauce generously over the initial ice cream layer, creating an artistic swirl pattern, then scatter chopped cookie pieces across the surface for maximum flavor distribution.
- Final Assembly: Top with remaining ice cream, smoothing the surface to create a perfectly flat finish, then wrap securely with plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours.
- Serving Presentation: Remove pie from freezer, let rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften, then garnish with whipped topping and an additional chocolate sauce drizzle before serving.
Notes
- Crush Cookies Thoroughly: Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin to ensure a perfect, compact crust texture.
- Bind Crust Carefully: Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand, creating a cohesive and stable base for the pie.
- Freeze for Firmness: Chill the crust in the freezer to solidify it quickly, preventing crumbling and ensuring a crisp, sturdy foundation for the ice cream layers.
- Master Ice Cream Layering: Soften ice cream slightly at room temperature, spread evenly, and add chocolate sauce and cookie chunks between layers for maximum flavor and visual appeal.
