Mud Pie

This is my children’s favorite dessert.  We make it every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas for all the children who attend.  They all love it.

The reason we use Haagen Dazs ice cream is because it returns to its normal consistency after it is defrosted and refrozen. 

1 package oreo cookies
1 stick butter
1 pint Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream
1 pint Haagen Dazs chocolate ice cream
Chocolate Syrup
Redi-Whip whipped cream

In a very large bowl, place the coffee and chocolate ice creams together.  As they melt, stir them together, making one flavor of coffee/chocolate ice cream.  Set aside.

Generously butter two pie pans.
Melt the stick of butter.
Crush about 30 oreo cookies, either by using a food processor, or by placing the cookies in a plastic baggie and using your rolling pin.

 Mix the cookies and the butter in the pie pans.  Using a spoon or bottom of a glass, press the cookies into the bottom and sides of the pie pans.

Pour the soupy ice cream into both pies.  Place in freezer until firm.
Remove from freezer after a few hours and top with chocolate sauce.
Spray some Redi-Whip on each piece as you are serving it.

ENJOY!!
