Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Chocolate ice cream (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- as desired Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely ground into crumbs.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan and add it to the cookie crumbs. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press it firmly. Place the crust in the freezer to set for 10-15 minutes.
While the crust is setting, allow the chocolate ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for about 5-7 minutes, making it easier to spread.
Once the crust is firm, spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Return the pie to the freezer to harden for at least 2 hours or until firm.
To make the whipped topping, pour the heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Remove the pie from the freezer and spread the whipped cream over the top in an even layer. If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
Return the pie to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the whipped cream, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the freezer covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
