Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Oreo cookie crust
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos (for topping)
Instructions
- Remove the Oreo cookie crust from packaging and place it on a clean, flat surface.
- Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften slightly at room temperature for about 5-7 minutes to make it easier to spread.
- Using a spatula, carefully spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly across the entire surface of the Oreo cookie crust, creating a smooth and uniform layer.
- Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly in the microwave or in a small saucepan to achieve a pourable consistency, being careful not to make it too hot.
- Drizzle the warm hot fudge sauce over the ice cream layer, creating an attractive swirl pattern that covers most of the surface.
- Gently spread the whipped cream over the hot fudge sauce layer, ensuring an even coverage.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the whipped cream layer for added texture and visual appeal.
- Place the pie in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow all layers to set and become firm.
- Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Cut into 8 equal slices and serve immediately while still cold and firm.
Tips
- Softening Ice Cream: Let the vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes to achieve the perfect spreadable consistency. Avoid over-softening, which can make layering difficult.
- Hot Fudge Technique: Warm the hot fudge sauce gently to ensure it's drizzle-friendly. Too hot, and it will melt the ice cream; too cold, and it won't spread smoothly.
- Freezing Perfection: Allow at least 2 hours of freezing time to ensure all layers set properly and the pie maintains its structural integrity.
- Serving Hack: Remove the pie from the freezer 3-5 minutes before serving to make slicing easier and prevent cracking.
- Presentation Tip: For a professional touch, use a hot knife (run under hot water and dried) to create clean, smooth slices.
