Peppermint Ice Cream Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peppermint Ice Cream Pie.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your kitchen with the sweet aroma of crushed cookies! In a food processor, pulse the OREO® cookies until they turn into fine crumbs. This will be the base of your pie, so make sure they’re nice and crumbly.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Stir them together until the mixture resembles wet sand. Now, it’s time to create your crust! Use your fingers to press this crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Once it’s all packed in, pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.

3. Step 3

   While the crust is chilling, let’s soften that delicious peppermint ice cream. Take it out of the freezer and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to scoop and spread.

4. Step 4

   Once the ice cream is soft, scoop it into your chilled crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a smooth layer of peppermint goodness. Now, grab your whipped topping and pipe or spoon it around the border of the pie for a lovely finishing touch.

5. Step 5

   For a festive flair, arrange small candy canes on top of the pie. They not only look great but add a delightful crunch!

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time for the pie to chill out. Place it back in the freezer for several hours, or until the ice cream is firm again. This is the hardest part—waiting!

7. Step 7

   When you’re ready to serve, cut the pie into 8 wedges. Place each wedge on a dessert plate and drizzle with chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce for that extra indulgence. Enjoy your festive treat!
