Easy Oreo Ice Cream Pie Substitutions and Additions

Here are some easy suggestions to create your favorite combination with this delicious dessert.

Oreo Cookies: You can use any brand of chocolate sandwich cookie or buy a box of pre-made Oreo crumbs found in the baking aisle. You’ll use the cookie and the filling for this treat.

For a twist on the classic Oreo flavor, try using mint or peanut butter-filled sandwich cookies instead.

A chocolate or regular graham cracker pie crust will also work. You can buy pre-made from the store or make your own graham cracker crust.

Salted Butter: We like the flavor of real butter in an Oreo cookie crust, but you can substitute margarine if necessary.

Use can also try melted coconut oil as a substitute for salted butter.

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream: Swap out the cookies and cream ice cream for flavors like coffee ice cream, chocolate chip cookie dough, moose tracks, candy cane, rocky road, or butter pecan ice cream. Any of your favorite ice cream flavors will do!

Of course, it’s also okay to stick with classic chocolate ice cream or vanilla ice cream if you’d prefer.

You can also make homemade ice cream if you prefer. Try homemade cookies and cream, birthday cake, or cookie dough.

In the fall, use pumpkin ice cream to create your own pumpkin ice cream pie topped with shortbread cookies and caramel syrup.

Chocolate Sauce: Swap out traditional hot fudge for alternatives like caramel sauce, raspberry, or even peanut butter sauce.

Kick it up a notch with butterscotch sauce or salted caramel sauce.

Whipped Topping: You can replace or add to the whipped cream garnish by decorating the top of the pie with any of your favorite candies. You could also use Cool Whip if you’d like.

Try adding mini Reese’s cups to the center layer and top of the dessert to make a chocolate peanut butter ice cream pie.

Add crumbled Kit Kat, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, Skor pieces, M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, or sprinkles on top for a quick and festive decoration.

​How to Make Ice Cream Pie

Let’s dive into creating our delicious ice cream pie with Oreo cookie crust! This recipe is a breeze to make and is sure to impress your friends and family with its irresistible chocolatey flavors.

STEP ONE: Place 24 Oreo cookies (including the cream filling) in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.

PRO TIP: If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or pound them gently with the smooth side of a meat mallet.

STEP TWO:​ Melt the butter gently in the microwave. Don’t overheat! Mix with the crushed cookies until all the crumbs are wet.

STEP THREE: Pour the buttered crumbs into a nine-inch pie plate. Press the crumbs firmly down into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the dish.

Place the Oreo pie crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the ice cream pie filling.

STEP FOUR:​ Chop the ten remaining cookies into large chunks and set aside for now.

STEP FIVE: ​Take your container of ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to soften for about ten minutes on the counter.

STEP SIX: Remove your chocolate cookie crust from the freezer. Spread about three cups of the softened ice cream over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

STEP SEVEN:​ To make the center cookie-filled layer, drizzle chocolate sauce over the smoothed ice cream, then sprinkle the chopped cookies over the chocolate sauce.

STEP EIGHT:​ Add the remaining softened ice cream on top of the cookie layer and smooth the top with a spatula.

STEP NINE: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and return the pie to the freezer. Freezer for at least four hours, or until the ice cream pie is completely frozen.

STEP TEN:​ When you’re ready to serve the pie, remove it from the freezer and allow it to sit for five to ten minutes at room temperature to make it easier to slice.

PRO TIP: Use a large, sharp knife to cut the pie. You can dip the knife in hot water and dry it with a clean towel before slicing each piece of pie. The hot knife will slide through the frozen pie more easily.

STEP ELEVEN: Garnish the outer edge of the pie with whipped topping. Slice the pie, then drizzle chocolate sauce over each individual piece of pie, if desired. Serve immediately.

PRO TIP: To make your whipped topping garnish, you can use a piping bag and a large star tip to make swirls.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 34 Oreo cookies with filling, any brand (divided into 24 and 10 cookies)
• ⅓ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
• 48 ounces cookies and cream ice cream, your favorite brand (1.4 liters)
• ½ cup chocolate sauce, plus more for optional drizzle
• whipped topping, optional garnish

Instructions

 

• Crush 24 Oreo cookies using a food processor to pulse until fine crumbs form.
• Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until well combined.
• Firmly press the buttered crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the other layers.
• Roughly chop the remaining 10 cookies into smaller pieces.
• Soften the ice cream by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pie plate from the freezer and spread 3 cups of the softened ice cream over the crust. Smooth it out with a spatula or an offset spatula.
• Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the layer of ice cream and sprinkle the remaining chopped cookies over the chocolate sauce.
• Add the remaining softened ice cream over the cookie layer. Smooth the top with a spatula.
• Cover the pie plate with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is completely frozen.
• Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it easier to slice.
• Garnish the outer edge of the pie with the whipped topping (I used a piping bag and decorator’s tip for my whipped topping garnish). Slice and drizzle with extra chocolate sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
• If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or pound them gently with the smooth side of a meat mallet.
• Use a large, sharp knife to cut the pie. You can dip the knife in hot water and dry it with a clean towel before slicing each piece of pie. The hot knife will slide through the frozen pie more easily.
• To make your whipped topping garnish, you can use a piping bag and a large star tip to make swirls.
