This is my roommate's 22nd birthday cake. She's convinced this is what grasshopper pie should be. However, it's merely ice cream with a bunch of toppings on it. But since it was her birthday, I let her believe what she wanted and made it to her "exact" specifications. Plus a little twist of course. Me? Follow a recipe to exactness? HA!
1 row (about 19) Oreo cookies and 3 cookies (crushed) for topping
7 TBSP butter (UNSALTED)
Mint chocolate chip ice cream
Hard shell chocolate fudge ice cream topping
1/2 box Junior Mints, crushed/chopped
Oreo crust:
Preheat to 350'. Crush Oreos (do not take out filling) in Ziploc bag. Melt butter in bowl. Mix Oreos with butter and smash with hands (or the bottom of a glass) in pie pan to form a thin crust. Bake for 6-7 minutes or until "crispy." Let cool a bit.
Pour in soft ice cream until full. Top with hard shell topping and crushed Oreo/Junior Mint mixture. Cover with saran wrap and place in freezer for 3+ hours, or until set. Take out 15 minutes before you want to eat it, or you won't be able to cut it. Trust me on that one.
