Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies crushed finely
- 5 tbs melted unsalted butter.
- Pinch of salt
For the Ice Cream Filling
- 11/2 quarts 6 cups softened ice cream coffee.
- 1 quart 4 cups chocolate ice cream (swap layer)
For the Fudge Layer
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Toppings
- Whipped cream store-bought or homemade
- Almonds or pecans oddly toasted
- Chocolate syrup or hot fudge for drizzling
- Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder optional
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- Break the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs (easy with the help of a food processor). Combine them with melted butter and a sprinkle of salt until they feel like wet sand.
- Transfer the mixture to the bottom and a little way up the sides of your springform pan. Freeze in refrigerator 1520 minutes to set.
Step 2: Prepare the Fudge Layer
- Heavy cream, butter, and chocolate chips should be cooked in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth. Add vanilla and salt.
- Allow it to cool until it becomes thick but still to be poured out.
- Spoon half of this fudge base on top of your frozen crust, and spread it evenly over it. Store in freezer for 15 minutes to freeze.
Step 3: Add the Ice Cream
- Scoop softened high-fat coffee ice cream and poured it over the fudge layer. (And with chocolate ice cream, too, another scoop now and then, to make it marbled)
- Top smooth and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours -even better left overnight.
Step 4: Final Assembly
- After the ice cream layer has become solid, pour the rest of the fudge sauce over the top. Return to freezer for 30 more minutes.
- Before serving, give much whipped cream, sprinkle toasted nuts, and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes, then cut.
- So pick up a large spoon and sink in some chocolatey creamy delight.
