Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed. Alternatively, put the cookies into a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Freeze the crust for at least 15 minutes to set.
While the crust is freezing, allow your chosen ice cream flavor to soften just enough to be easily spreadable.
Remove the crust from the freezer and spoon the softened ice cream into the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
Once ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
Top the pie with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other optional toppings as desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers covered in the freezer.
