How is everyone surviving quarantine? I’ll tell you how I’m surviving…..by cooking! That is the one thing that helps calm my mind during this wild time we’re living.
Today I am bringing you a recipe for Oreo Ice Cream Pie. I hate to even call it a recipe because it’s so easy! You only need 4 ingredients! I have made this 3 times over quarantine and my family is not tired of it yet.
I originally came up with this recipe for my youngest son’s birthday a few years ago. He saw something like this and told me that’s what he wanted. We LOVE ice cream at our house, so it was an instant hit!
To make this Oreo ice cream pie all you have to do is make a cookie crust, spread some ice cream over the crust, top it with cool whip and cookie crumbs. The hardest part is waiting while it sets up in the freezer!
I think an important thing to note is that I always use Private Selection Ice Cream for this. We’ve tried a lot of ice cream and have found that none really compare to the Private Selection brand. If you can’t find that brand in your area, just make sure that you use a good quality ice cream. I think that really makes a difference.
This would be great to take for a Memorial Day cookout (is that even allowed right now???) or just as a cool, creamy treat any day of the week!
