Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Cool, creamy, and chocolatey – a triple win
• No baking needed – which means no heating up the kitchen
• Ridiculously easy to make – just mix, layer, and freeze
• Perfect for parties or make-ahead desserts

Ingredients

Crust

• 1½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
• 1½ teaspoons sugar (optional, depending on how sweet your cookies are)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

Filling

• 4 cups chocolate chip or coffee ice cream, softened

Topping

• 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
• Additional Oreo cookies (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

In a bowl, mix together the Oreo crumbs, sugar (if using), and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 2: Fill with Ice Cream

Once the crust is chilled, spoon the softened ice cream into the crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Work quickly—it melts fast! Once it’s evenly filled, drizzle the top with chocolate syrup.

Step 3: Freeze

Place the pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm. Overnight is even better if you can wait that long!

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

Let the pie sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before slicing for easier serving. Top with extra crushed Oreos, whipped cream, or a drizzle of more chocolate syrup for that “wow” finish.

Tips for Sweet Success

• Want a thicker crust? Use up to 2 cups of cookie crumbs and a little extra butter.
• Try using mint chocolate chip or peanut butter ice cream for a fun twist.
• Warm your knife under hot water before slicing for clean cuts.
• Line your pie dish with parchment if you want easy removal for slicing and plating.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought crust?

How long can I store it?
Up to 2 weeks in the freezer—just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.

Can I use other ice cream flavors?

Conclusion

This Frozen Mud Pie is the kind of no-fuss dessert that brings big smiles with minimal effort. It’s cold, creamy, rich, and just a little nostalgic—the ultimate sweet treat for warm weather days or chocolate cravings that won’t quit.

So grab a spoon (or a fork, or just the whole pie dish—we don’t judge), and dig in. Once you taste it, there’s no turning back.
