Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 20 sandwich cookies like Oreos or Trader Joe's O's, chocolate or vanilla
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons plant-based butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 quart or 3 pints plant-based ice cream of choice, softened
  • 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • optional toppings: Oreos, fruit, candy cane, thin mints, vegan whipped cream, vegan peanut butter cups

Instructions
 

  • Spray or grease pie pan.
  • Crush cookies either with food processor or hand crushed in sealed plastic bag. Do not over process.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter.
  • Combine crushed cookies and melted butter (either in food processor or in bag).
  • Press cookie mixture into 9 inch round dish on bottom and sides. Freeze until hardened, at least 20 minutes.
  • Spread slightly softened ice cream over crust. Cover and freeze again, at least 30 minutes.
  • Make chocolate sauce: combine remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, chocolate chips, and milk. Melt on stove or in microwave (about 30 seconds). Allow to cool completely.
  • Drizzle chocolate sauce over ice cream pie. Add optional decorations (see ideas below).
  • Before covering, consider placing toothpicks around pie so that cover or plastic wrap doesn't touch pie top and smear decorations. Cover and freeze until solid, at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
  • Let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting. Slice pie into wedges and serve.
