Ingredients
Scale
2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1.5 quarts softened vanilla ice cream
1 cup peanut butter sauce or hot fudge topping
1 cup whipped topping (thawed)
1/2 cup chopped peanuts or chocolate chips (optional mix-in/topping)
Instructions
Combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Let the ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for about 10 minutes so it is spreadable.
Remove the crust from the freezer. Spread half of the softened ice cream evenly over the crust.
Drizzle half of the peanut butter sauce or hot fudge over the first ice cream layer. If using optional mix-ins, sprinkle half of them over this layer now.
Top with the remaining ice cream and spread it gently to cover the previous layer.
Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top layer and sprinkle with the remaining optional mix-ins.
Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm.
Before serving, spread the thawed whipped topping over the top of the frozen pie.
Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
For a different flavor, substitute vanilla ice cream with mint chocolate or cake batter ice cream.
If you want a richer crust, use 8 tablespoons of butter instead of 6.
You can make this pie up to one week ahead of time and keep it covered in the freezer.
