Oreo Ice Cream Pie

Today is Trouble's 9th Birthday. Mr.Perfect reminded me that Trouble is now halfway to 18! Halfway to... driving, voting, buying a lottery ticket, hopefully not buying tobacco, or getting a tattoo, or going on Jerry Springer, or calling some "900" number... oh my I have a lot of work to do in the next 9 years! In the meantime I'll make him an ice cream pie.

What you need:

• 9 inch pie pan
• 25 whole Oreo cookies
• 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1 quart Oreo or Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, softened
• 30 Mini Oreos
• Cool Whip

What you do:
Place your pie pan in the freezer to chill while you are making the crust. Eat 1 Oreo (you know you want to). Blend the remaining 24 cookies in a food processor or blender until they are fine crumbs.

In a bowl mix Oreo crumbs and melted butter.

Place the ground crumb mixture in the cold pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides evenly. Chill the crust in the freezer for about an hour.

Fill Oreo crust with softened ice cream and place back in the freezer for about an hour.

Eat 2 mini Oreos (it's OK... I won't tell). Place the rest of the mini Oreos around the edge of the crust.

Spread a thick layer of Cool Whip on top of the ice cream.

Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs (if you have any Oreos left). Place the pie back in the freezer for a few hours before serving.

Trouble LOVED his birthday pie!

 I always know it's REALLY good when he turns into a
caveman and starts using his hands.

Happy Birthday Trouble!
