Chocolate Mocha Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Pie


Buttery, chocolatey, crunchy, chewy crust topped with coffee flavored ice-cream mixed with chunks of cookie and chocolate chips, could cause you to eat most of this pie before you realize what you have done.  I am very glad I  made this one to share, because otherwise, I know I am in danger of eating it all, just myself. 
This dessert  takes about 10 minutes to make, and what a delicious dessert to share with family or friends during the hot summer months.

Begin by crushing 25 Oreo type sandwich cookies.  There are several great brands that are on the healthier side, and even some gluten free varieties that are delicious.  I used the "Back to Nature" brand.


Chop 8-12 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies into chunks. Set aside.


Stir  1/4 cup melted butter into crushed Cookie mixture and mix until well blended.


Press mixture into a standard pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes, then cool completely.


Soften three pints of Mocha/Coffee flavored Ice Cream of choice, by allowing the ice cream to sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes.




Stir the cookie chunks into the ice-cream.


Mix until well distributed.


Spread softened ice-cream mixture into the cooled pie crust.


Freeze 2 hours or more.  Top with mini chocolate chips.


Decorate with whipped cream and more chocolate chips….


….and serve.


I do really love it when it gets a little melty, and begins to drip all over the crust.
