Make ‘Dad’ SUPER happy this weekend for Father’s Day with this simple, yet decadent, Oreo Ice Cream Pie. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and an extra Oreo for an extra fun slice!  Go ahead and purchase 2 bags of Oreo cookies, they are needed to make this dessert!

 
4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (using food processor) – this is equivalent to one bag!
3 tablespoons butter, melted
½ gallon vanilla ice cream
16 ounces Cool Whip, softened (3/4 for pie, remaining for garnish)
2 cups Oreo cookies, roughly crushed
¾ cup prepared hot fudge (jarred)
 
Combine 4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter.  Press into a spring form pan (lined with wax paper all up the sides) to form a crust.
 
In a stand mixer, combine ice cream and ¾ of the Cool Whip and whisk until combined.
 
Add 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies and mix until fluffy.
 
Slightly warm hot fudge (you do not want this too hot!) and spread over cookie crust, careful not to lift crumbs.
 
Pour ice cream mixture over top of hot fudge and smooth the top.
 
Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
 
Remove from freezer when ready to serve and top with extra dollop of Cool Whip and an Oreo cookie.
