Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Chocolate chip ice cream
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Pour the melted butter into the cookie crumbs and mix until well combined.
Press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to pack the crust tightly.
Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
While the crust is chilling, take the chocolate chip ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften slightly for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
Scoop the softened ice cream into the prepared crust and spread it into an even layer with a spatula. Return the pie to the freezer for at least 2 hours to set.
To prepare the ganache topping, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer (but do not let it boil).
Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool for 5-10 minutes, then pour it over the frozen pie, spreading it evenly. Return the pie to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the ganache.
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. If desired, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
Slice and serve cold. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
