Tips
If you want to make this recipe even easier, you can skip making the crust from scratch and use a store-bought Oreo cookie crust instead. You can also experiment with different ice cream flavors and toppings to make this recipe your own.
Another tip is to let the ice cream soften just enough so that it is easy to scoop into the crust, but not so much that it becomes melted and runny. And make sure to let the pie freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream is completely frozen, before serving.
Lastly, if you want to make this recipe a little fancier, you can drizzle chocolate sauce or caramel sauce over the top of the pie before serving. Enjoy!
