🧂 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. You’ll find the full measurements and instructions in the printable recipe at the bottom of the page.
You’ll need the following for this cool and creamy treat:
- Chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies
- Melted butter
- Prepared chocolate ice cream
- Frozen whipped topping
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
🍴Instructions
Step One: make crust
Start off by crushing the chocolate cookies and mix them with the melted butter. This will be your pie crust. Press it down gently into a 9-inch pie plate.
Step Two: make the ice cream layer
Give the chocolate ice cream a little bit of time to soften, let’s say about 15 minutes at room temperature. Stir it up with half of the whipped topping and press it into your pie crust. Be gentle with your spatula, and once done, let it chill in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours.
Step three: assemble
For the final touch, spread the remaining whipped topping on top of your pie.
Step Four: chill and add chocolate shavings
Put it back into the freezer for at least an hour to firm up the topping. Just before you serve it, shave some chocolate on top for a beautiful garnish.
🥫 Storage instructions
Wrap your chocolate ice cream pie tightly with cling wrap or aluminum foil. It will do just fine in the freezer for a week. Always remember to keep it as airtight as possible to prevent freezer burn.
