Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreos (2 cups | 268g Oreo crumbs)
- 4 tbsp (56g) butter, melted (salted or unsalted)
Ice Cream Filling
- 1 cup (240ml) sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup maraschino cherry juice
- 1 ½ cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- ½ cup chopped maraschino cherries
- ½ cup (85g) mini chocolate chips
Whipped Cream Topping
- ¾ cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- ½ cup (58g) powdered sugar
- ¾ tsp vanilla extract
- Additional mini chocolate chips
- Additional maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Make the crust: Add the Oreos to a food processor or blender and grind into fine crumbs without removing the filling. Combine the Oreo crumbs with melted butter in a bowl.
- Prepare the crust: Pour the crumb mixture into a greased deep dish 9-inch or 10-inch pie pan and press firmly into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides. Freeze the crust while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling base: In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with maraschino cherry juice and set aside.
- Whip cream: In a separate large mixing bowl, whip 1½ cups cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk and cherry juice mixture in two additions until well combined.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in chopped maraschino cherries and mini chocolate chips evenly.
- Assemble and freeze: Pour the ice cream filling into the prepared crust and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Prepare whipped cream topping: Whip ¾ cup cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Decorate the pie: Pipe the whipped cream around the pie border using a piping tip (Ateco tip 844 recommended) and garnish with additional mini chocolate chips and maraschino cherries.
- Store and serve: Keep the pie well covered in the freezer until ready to serve. Best consumed within 2 weeks for optimal flavor and texture.
