Super Ice Cream Pie

Alright, alright i didn't get a chance to bake the sweet potato pie today (hence, no super pie taste off), but i did try the ice cream pie - shit is good! And super easy. If you're interested in making your very own ice cream pie, it goes like this:

be's Super Ice Cream Pie

1 cookie pie crust (premade or make your own, i used graham cracker crust)
1.5 quarts slightly softened ice cream (i used Breyer's Reese's Peanut Butter)
2-3 large handfuls of chocolate cookies, coarsely crushed (i used a mix of Newman's Own Alphabet and Addolorata Double Chocolate Biscotti with chocolate chips and almonds)
Optional: chocolate chips/candies/syrup, chopped nuts, whipped cream

Fill the pie crust halfway with a layer of ice cream. Cover with an even layer of the cookie crumbs (they add a great texture to an otherwise smooth pie). Top with another layer of ice cream, smoothing it to the edges and sealing the pie. Decorate with nuts, chips and candies. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to keep out weird odors and freezerburn; freeze overnight. Serve with chocolate syrup and whipped cream if desired. Note: i made up this recipe in 2 seconds using what i had around; there are countless combinations of crust/cookie/ice cream that would be excellent, although i wouldn't make a pie with sorbet/sherbet since it melts watery.
