Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until they are evenly crumbly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Mix until evenly combined and the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
Remove the softened chocolate ice cream from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature until it is easy to spread. Spread the ice cream evenly over the cookie crust.
Drizzle the chocolate fudge sauce over the layer of ice cream, spreading it gently to cover the surface. Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts evenly over the fudge layer if using.
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the fudge layer. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to create smooth, even coverage.
Garnish the top of the pie with chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired. Place the pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
When ready to serve, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to allow for easier slicing. Cut into 12 slices and serve immediately.
