Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of a 12-inch pie dish to form the crust.
- Spread softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie crust.
- Pour chocolate fudge topping in an even layer over the ice cream.
- Spread whipped topping over the fudge layer.
- Place the pie in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of crushed nuts or shredded coconut to the crust. If you don't have Oreo cookies, any chocolate wafer cookies can serve as a substitute. For an extra treat, drizzle additional chocolate fudge topping over the whipped topping before serving. This pie is best made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
