Grasshopper Ice Cream Dessert (Asphalt Pie!)

By srumbel

I’ve got a fantastic recipe for you today, friends…that couldn’t be simpler to put together. Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie (or as my Sisters in Law call it “Asphalt Pie”) highlights crushed up Oreos, mint chocolate ice cream and a homemade hot fudge that is out of this world! The cookies give it a great chunky texture while the hot fudge packs a creamy chocolate punch that is divine. It’s simple to be sure, but is a real crowd pleaser as well.

Preparation

Step 1

. I highly recommend using this fabulous Homemade Hot Fudge recipe for the yummy Grasshopper Ice Cream Dessert. You can use pre-made hot fudge, but it's not nearly as good. :) If you opt to make the homemade version, make it first and allow it to cool for 15-20 before assembling the Grasshopper Ice Cream Dessert.
2. Grab a half-gallon of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes, or until it's slightly softened.
3. Toss 30 Oreo cookies into a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Close the bag and use a rolling-pin to pound the cookies into rough pieces. You don't want the pieces to be too tiny. I like mine to be nice and chunky.
2. Spray a 9x9 pan (make sure it has fairly tall sides) with cooking spray and lay half of the crushed cookies out over the bottom.
3. Carefully spoon 1 half-gallon mint chocolate chip ice cream over the top of the cookies. Spread it out as evenly as possible.
4. Pour 1 Cup of Homemade Hot Fudge over the top of the ice cream.
6. Carefully spoon 1 (8 ounce) package thawed cool whip over the top.
7. Sprinkle the remaining Oreo pieces over the top. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
8. When you are ready to serve, cut into chunks and drizzle with additional Homemade Hot Fudge.
