Ice Cream Pie

It's time to celebrate!
When Ryan and I first started dating (waayyy back in the day) I learned about ICP when he was going home for Winter Break and his mom had it waiting in the freezer for him. He was drooling while explaining the layers of oreos, fudge, carmel and ice cream that go into this dessert. I knew I had to get this recipe to have on hand for Birthdays and Special Occasions. Today is definitely a special occasion and a reason to celebrate. Ryan took Dental Boards, Part 1 today and there is an Ice Cream Pie with his name on it in the freezer!
Next time you have a party to go to, or something special to celebrate, make an ice cream pie. This rich and delicious dessert is guaranteed to be a crowd favorite.

Crush oreos and butter together to make the crust

In a double broiler combine ingredients for fudge sauce

Ice Cream Pie


Ice Cream Pie:
Ingredients:

  • 1 package Oreos
  • 2 1/2 gallons of Ice Cream (I used "Fudge Tracks" and "Salted Carmel")
  • 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup Karo Syrup
  • 5 tablespoons of your favorite carmel sauce
Crust: In a food processor (or using a mortar & pestle), crush 3/4 of the oreos with 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter. Once combined, press the crust into the bottom of a springform pan and freeze.

Fudge: Create a double broiler by boiling water in a pot and putting a heat proof bowl on top of the pot so that you can melt the ingredients. (You can also do this in a microwave, just be careful not to burn the chocolate and butter). Combine the sweetened condensed milk, 1 stick butter, karo syrup and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the bowl and melt ingredients together.

When the crust has hardened, pour a layer of fudge on top of the crust and freeze again. Next, use 1 of the 1/2 gallons of ice cream and create the first ice cream layer and freeze. Drizzle carmel sauce on top of the ice cream and freeze for a few minutes to harden. Use the 2nd 1/2 gallon of ice cream for the next ice cream layer and freeze again. Last, use the remaining oreos to crumble on top of the pie and then drizzle fudge sauce over the top. Freeze until you are ready to eat!
