What You’ll Need for This Pie

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 gallon (1.89 L) mint chocolate chip ice cream, slightly softened

How to Make Asphalt Pie
Follow these simple steps to assemble your delicious ice cream pie.
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. In a medium bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
Step 2: Form the Crust
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. You can use the bottom of a glass to help press it down. Place the crust in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set.
Step 3: Fill the Pie
Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop the softened ice cream into the chilled Oreo crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 4: Freeze Until Firm
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is completely firm. For best results, freeze it overnight.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Before serving, drizzle the top of the pie with the warmed hot fudge and caramel sauces. Top with swirls of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra crushed Oreos. Slice and serve immediately.
Your Asphalt Pie Questions Answered
Can I use a different flavor of ice cream?
Absolutely! While mint chocolate chip is classic for Asphalt Pie, feel free to experiment. Chocolate, cookie dough, or even coffee ice cream would be delicious alternatives.
How do I store leftover Asphalt Pie?
Wrap any leftover pie tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. It should keep well for up to one week. Let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature before serving to soften slightly.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this is a perfect make-ahead dessert. You can prepare the entire pie and keep it in the freezer for up to a week before you plan to serve it. Just add the sauces and toppings right before serving.
What is the best way to get clean slices?
For clean, neat slices, run a sharp knife under hot water for a few seconds and wipe it dry before cutting the pie. Repeat this for each slice.
Pro-Tips for the Perfect Pie
- Don’t Over-Soften the Ice Cream: You want the ice cream to be spreadable, but not melted. If it gets too soft, the pie won’t set properly.
- Layer Your Sauces: For a beautiful presentation, drizzle one sauce on, then the other, rather than mixing them.
- Pre-made or Homemade Crust: While making your own Oreo crust is easy, you can also use a store-bought chocolate crumb crust to save even more time.
