Ingredients
Instructions

- Chill the crust in the refrigerator.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Oreos. If you prefer a nutty crunch, add chopped nuts to the crust or mix them into the ice cream layer. Ensure the ice cream is only slightly softened for easier mixing, but not too melted to prevent a soggy crust. If you don't have instant coffee, brewed coffee can be used, but reduce the liquid in the recipe accordingly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of this pie with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flair. It pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside slices of Cherry Upside-Down Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To serve, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier. If the pie becomes too hard, a few minutes of thawing will help restore its creamy texture.
