No Bake Ice Cream Pie

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 1 box Kim and Jake's Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 2 pints vanilla ice cream (or flavor of your choice)

  • 1/2 cup softened butter

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 tsp salt

  • Pinch big crunchy salt for topping if you like

 

To prepare the crust:

  • 1 9 inch pie pan

  • Food processor

 

  1. Break cookies into crumbles with your hands over food processor attached to motor with blade attachment

  2. Pulse in processor until fine crumb forms

  3. Add two tablespoons sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup butter

  4. Pulse again to until butter is mixed into cookie crumb (a gravelly dough will form)

  5. Pour dough in pie pan and gently knead with your fingers

  6. Press dough out from the center of the dish with fingers until it creeps up the sides of the pan

  7. Press dough against sides of pan (this is tricky and will take a minute so be patient and expect crumbs to peel away from time to time, it's okay, just patch and move on)

  8. When shell has been formed in the pan put in the freezer and allow to set firmly (approx. 3 hrs)

       

      For the filling:

      1. Start by removing the pie shell from freezer and allow to warm for 10 minutes

      2. In medium mixing bowl add 2 pints of softened ice cream and mash with heavy metal spoon until pliable

      3. Scoop ice cream from bowl into pie shell and spread evenly with back of spoon

      4. Slice and serve with fresh strawberries, mango, and mint. Or just eat it with a glass of bourbon
