How to Make Peppermint Ice Cream Pie With Christmas Cookie Crust
- Crush 2 cups of Christmas cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies with 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter.
- Set aside 2 tablespoons of the cookie crumb mixture.
- Press the remaining cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch pie pan.
- Freeze the crust for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, gently fold together 2 pints of peppermint ice cream (slightly softened), 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and 1/2 cup of crushed candy canes.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumb mixture over the top.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the pie is firm.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to slightly soften. Serve with warm chocolate sauce and whipped cream, if desired.
