Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 quarts Mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
- 2 tablespoons Crème de menthe liqueur
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings or chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium-sized bowl and mix in the melted butter until evenly combined.
Press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set for 10-15 minutes.
In a large bowl, stir the softened mint chocolate chip ice cream together with the crème de menthe until smooth and well combined.
Spoon the ice cream mixture into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Just before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl using a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the frozen pie in an even layer.
Garnish the pie with dark chocolate shavings or chocolate chips.
Slice and serve immediately, or store the pie in the freezer for up to 1 week.
