Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 (12 ounce) jar hot fudge topping
• 1 (6 ounce) chocolate sandwich cookie crumb crust (such as an OREO® crust)
• 1 (12 ounce) package miniature chocolate chips
• ½ (18 ounce) package crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
• 1 quart coffee ice cream, divided
• ¾ cup chocolate syrup, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Freeze crust until firm, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Place 1/2 of the coffee ice cream into a bowl, and let it stand to soften, about 10 minutes. Return remaining ice cream to the freezer. Mix softened ice cream with mini chocolate chips. Spread ice cream and chocolate chip mixture in an even layer over the frozen crust. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 2 hours.

Step 3

Heat fudge topping in the microwave on low until warm and easy to pour, 30 seconds to 1 minute (do not let the sauce get very hot). Pour into a bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs for garnish; stir remaining cookie crumbs into fudge topping.

Step 4

Remove pie from the freezer, and layer fudge and cookie crumb mixture over top ice cream and chocolate chip layer. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to the freezer for 2 hours.

Step 5

Take remaining frozen coffee ice cream out of the freezer, and allow to soften, about 10 minutes. Spread ice cream over fudge and cookie crumb layer. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to the freezer for 2 more hours.

Step 6

Remove pie, and spread whipped topping over top. Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs to garnish. Cover with plastic wrap, and return to the freezer to freeze whipped topping layer, 2 more hours.

Step 7

Cut the pie into serving pieces, and drizzle each serving with about 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup.
