I made a couple of Oreo Ice Cream Pies yesterday for my friend Paul.

Paul helped me out one night in a blizzard on the way home from work and I made him tell me his favorite dessert so I could thank him for being there for me. Don’t they look delic?

Here’s what it looked like before the whipped cream, YUM-O!

CRUST

1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (that’s about 18 regular stuff Oreos, I pulverized them in my food processor)

1/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

FILLING

4 cups Oreo Ice Cream (I took it out of the freezer right when I started and it was just about melted enough when I got to it)

12 Oreo Cookies, crushed (I broke them up with my hands so they would be chunky)

TOPPING

2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup Oreo Cookie crumbs (I decided to leave these out of the whipped cream layer because there was already a lot of Oreos in the pie)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 For the crust, stir together Oreo crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate.

2 For the filling, stir together the ice cream and crushed Oreos. Spread carefully over cookie layer in pie plate.

3 For the topping, beat on medium high to high the cream, sugar, Oreos, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over ice cream layer.

4 Freeze for 4 hours before serving.
