Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 24 Oreo cookies ((almost a full package))
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/2 gallon peppermint ice cream
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip ((1 tub))
  • 20 peppermint candies (divided (wrappers removed))
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Chocolate syrup (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Place the Oreos in a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. (see note) Place Oreo crumbs in a medium mixing bowl, add the melted butter, and mix until the cookie crumbs are moistened.
  • Pour Oreo crumbs mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Press them down to evenly cover the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Refrigerate the crust for 1 hour before adding the filling.
  • While the crust sets up, set out the ice cream and Cool Whip to thaw. Place 12 peppermint candies into a food storage bag. Seal the bag and smash the candies into little bits using a heavy pan or rolling pan. Set aside.
  • Remove the crust from the refrigerator and gently scoop the ice cream into the pie plate, spreading it out to fill the pan. Add a layer of crushed peppermints over the ice cream. Then spread the Cool Whip all over the top of the pie.
  • Place the entire pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until hardened.
  • To serve, remove the pie from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Top the Cool Whip with more whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and the remaining peppermint candies before cutting into 8 slices.
