chocolate ice cream pie
A ground oreo crust, a snappy salted chocolate topping all surround your favorite chocolate ice cream. Go on then, use whatever ice cream you like. It’s all in pie form and if you mixed it all together it’d be like an ice cream with yummy chunks. This is one of those dead simple crowd pleasers.

Chocolate Ice Cream Pie
Chocolate Ice Cream Pie
Ice cream in pie form! Chocolate flecked with sea salt on top and oreo crust on the bottom.
Ingredients
- 2 dozen whole oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 cups chocolate ice cream slightly softened
- 4 oz dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- flaked sea salt for topping
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove ice cream from the freezer to let it soften.
- In a food processor, pulse oreo cookies until finely ground. Add butter and process until it’s distributed and you have wet crumbs.
- Press the crumbs into a 9” tart pan, on the bottom and up the sides. Bake it for about 5 minutes, then let it cool on the counter. Once it’s cool to touch, place it in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Smooth the ice cream into the crust into one layer, return the pie to the freezer.
- Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate with the oil. Stir until smooth.
- Once melted but not too hot pour it over the chocolate ice cream and use an offset spatula to smooth it over to the edges. Return to freezer for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle salt over the top, return to freezer to fully firm up.
- Store in freezer but also, eat asap.
Notes
This is infinitely adaptable: don’t have a tart pan? Use a pie pan. Or a cake pan. All you need to do really is fill the bottom and sides with the oreo mixture. A tart pan makes it easier to remove. Four cups of ice cream is a suggestion, based on the pan you are using.

This is so delicious! I used a cherry chocolate ice cream and the flavor combo was divine! I did have issues spreading the chocolate on top and ended up needing extra, but when is extra chocolate ever a problem? 🙂 Thank you for the recipe!
