Servings: 10 slices
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 oz unsalted butter melted, 113 g
- 30 Oreo cookies 340 g
- 1.5 quart ice cream 1.4 liter
Instructions
Make Oreo crust
- Break Oreo cookies into small pieces and ground in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
- Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 - 45 seconds, stir with a fork to dissolve any remaining solid butter.
- Drizzle melted butter over the Oreo crumbs, and process for an additional 10 - 20 seconds until the mixture is the texture of wet sand.
- Turn the mixture out into a pie dish or springform pan and press into the bottom and sides of the pan to form a crust.
- Wrap well and freeze until hardened before filling.
Assemble the Pie
- When the pie crust is ready, allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for ease of scooping and spreading.
- Scoop out the ice cream and fill the crust to the rim, use an offset spatula to spread it evenly. If you have more ice cream, add everything on top and create a dome top.
- Freeze the pie until the ice cream is firm again before slicing and serving.
- Cut into slices, add your choice of toppings just before serving.
Notes
- You do not need to remove the Oreo filling before making the crust.
- Store-bought or homemade cookie pie crust will work for this recipe.
- You can use either Oreo crust or Graham cracker crust, whichever you prefer.
- Use Oreos with different flavor fillings to make the crust to compliment your ice cream flavor.
- Store-bought ice cream is the easier route, but homemade ice cream can offer some unique flavors, or use mix-ins and toppings to create your own customized ice cream pie.
- Allow the ice cream pie to defrost slightly on the countertop before slicing into it.
- Warm your knife under hot running water for a few seconds, wipe dry before making a slice and repeat. This will give you clean slices.
- Store in the freezer before serving. And also store any leftovers in the freezer, wrapped well in plastic and foil.
