Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies with filling
- 48 ounces (1.4 liters) cookies and cream ice cream
- 10 Oreo cookies with filling
Crust Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) salted butter, melted and cooled
Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) chocolate sauce
- Whipped topping
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor or by crushing inside a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin until completely uniform in texture.
- Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand, creating a cohesive binding for the crust.
- Firmly press the crumb mixture into the entire surface of a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring an even, compact layer that reaches up the sides and bottom.
- Place the crust in the freezer to solidify while preparing the remaining ingredients, allowing it to become sturdy and crisp.
- Roughly chop the remaining cookies into uneven chunks, creating textural variety for the filling.
- Gently soften the cookies and cream ice cream by letting it rest at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes, making it malleable but not completely melted.
- Spread half of the softened ice cream across the chilled crust in a smooth, consistent layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce generously over the first ice cream layer, creating an artistic swirl pattern.
- Scatter the chopped cookie pieces across the chocolate sauce, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor distribution.
- Top with the remaining ice cream, carefully smoothing the surface to create a perfectly flat finish.
- Wrap the pie securely with plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours to allow complete solidification.
- Before serving, allow the pie to rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften, facilitating easier slicing.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped topping and an additional chocolate sauce drizzle for an elegant presentation.
