Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts
- 8 pieces maraschino cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until finely crushed.
Transfer the crushed cookies to a mixing bowl and combine with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then allow it to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until dissolved. Let the fudge mixture cool to room temperature.
Once the crust is cooled, spread a layer of softened vanilla ice cream evenly into the crust. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Pour half of the cooled fudge mixture over the ice cream layer, spreading it evenly. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
Repeat with another layer of softened ice cream, followed by the remaining fudge mixture. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
To serve, top the pie with dollops of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a maraschino cherry on each slice.
Slice and enjoy this rich and indulgent fudge sundae pie!
