Ingredients
Method
Make the crust
- Combine crushed Golden Oreos and melted unsalted butter, then mix until the crumbs look evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and up the sides.
- Freeze the crust for 15 minutes to set. You should see the crust hold its shape when gently tapped.
Assemble and freeze
- Spread the softened vanilla bean ice cream over the crust in an even layer and smooth the top for a flat surface.
- Freeze the pie for 4 hours until completely firm. The edges should look set and the center should slice cleanly.
Top and finish
- Top the frozen pie with whipped cream or whipped topping and drizzle caramel sauce decoratively over the surface. Add a final visual flourish with swirls or lines of caramel.
- Scatter crushed Golden Oreos and sprinkles over the top for a crunchy, speckled finish.
- Return the pie to the freezer until serving, then let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing. The ice cream should soften slightly so each wedge cuts without crumbling.
Notes
Pro tip: soften the vanilla ice cream just enough to spread—if it melts too much, the crust can get patchy. Store covered in the freezer for up to 3 months. For a lighter option, use whipped topping labeled “reduced fat” and a lower-sugar caramel sauce.
