Equipment

9-inch pie plate
Spatula

Ingredients

20 vanilla cream-filled sandwich cookies such as Golden Oreos, crushed
¼ cup melted butter
1 pint prepared strawberry ice cream
12 ounce frozen whipped topping divided
6 fresh strawberries

Instructions

Assemble the pie crust. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Then, press the cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup for a smooth, compact layer.
Fill the pie. Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes until it's easy to stir but not melted. Then, mix the softened ice cream in a large bowl with half of the whipped topping (6 ounces) until well combined. Gently scoop the ice cream mixture into the crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
Add the topping. Remove the pie from the freezer and gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the top, creating a smooth and even layer. Return the pie to the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour to set the whipped topping.
Garnish and serve. Just before serving, arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the pie for a fresh, colorful finish.

Notes

You'll only need a regular-sized box of Oreos for this recipe, and you might have some left over.

If you plan to add berries to the pie, it's best to do so right before serving to prevent them from freezing solid.

Using a glass or ceramic pie plate is recommended as they distribute the cold from the freezer more evenly than metal plates. This helps the pie to freeze uniformly.

For clean slices, try dipping your knife in hot water and wiping it dry between cuts to help the knife melt through the frozen layers smoothly. This will make sure that your slices come out looking great.
