Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups Vanilla ice cream, softened
- 2 teaspoons Espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and blend until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter in a medium bowl and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the softened vanilla ice cream, espresso powder, and instant coffee granules until well combined.
Pour the coffee-infused ice cream mixture into the prepared cookie crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the frozen pie, or pipe it decoratively if desired.
Garnish with shaved chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
Allow the pie to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
