Not really a Pie nor a cheesecake but just deliciousness on a crust.
The base is crushed mint cookies, topped with mint ice cream and chocolate chips.
How delicious is that. A quick note - since this is an ice cream pie it needs to be kept frozen for at least 5 hours before serving. Leftovers, if any, also need to be kept frozen.
Ingredients & Method
Oreo originals, 1 packet
1/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 litre vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 cup mint syrup
1 tsp peppermint essence
few drops green food colour
1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with a little butter.
- In a food processor pulse the entire package of cookies until fine crumbs. Use the centre cream. Mix in the butter and sugar.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake in a preheated 180 C oven for 10 min
- Stir the ice cream to break up lumps. Do not let it melt
- Add in the mint syrup [I used Monin's Mojito], essence and food coloring. Do as much food coloring as you want until you reach the desired color you want your pie to be.
- Fold in the chocolate chips
- Freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Serve directly from the freezer and return to the freezer as soon as you are finished serving. It is ice cream and will melt easily and quickly!
