Basic recipe from Woman's World 12/18/08, but I have added instructions for an Oreo pie crust. Preparation time includes chilling time. To allow advance preparation of the whipped cream topping, I use Kate's Chantilly Cream - Stabilized Whipped Cream With Vanilla #485591. Made 12/18/13: whipped cream was unnecessary; vanilla layer did not impress, why not use chocolate mint as a contrast? Used 12 Star Light peppermint candies in clock face layout and crushed 6 candies to sprinkle over top. I recommend using a rich ice cream so that it will soften easily. Edy's Grand Peppermint was super in this. Ingredients:
20 oreo cookies, crumbled (2 cups) |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened |
10 oreo cookies, crushed (1 cup) |
1 1/2 quarts peppermint ice cream, softened |
1 1/2 cups heavy cream |
3 tablespoons sugar |
wilton red-red concentrated food coloring (optional) |
12 -18 starlight peppermint candies, for garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. MAKE OREO PIE CRUST:.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius).
3. Mix Oreo crumbs and melted butter together.
4. Press into 9 deep-dish pie pan bottom and sides.
5. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely.
6. PREPARE ICE CREAM FILLING:.
7. Spread softened vanilla ice cream over bottom of pie crust.
8. Sprinkle with crushed cookies.
9. Freeze until set, about 1 hour.
10. Spread softened peppermint ice cream over cookie layer, mounding slightly in center.
11. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.
12. PREPARE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING JUST BEFORE SERVING:.
13. On medium-high speed, beat cream with sugar until stiff peaks form.
14. If desired, fit large star tip into large pastry bag. Using small, clean brush, starting at tip of bag, paint 5 long lines of food coloring inside bag, ending 1 inch from top edge. Fill bag with whipped cream. Pipe rosettes.
15. If not using pastry bag, spread plain whipped cream over pie.
16. If desired, garnish with peppermint candies.
