Asphalt Pie has always been a favorite dessert of ours, thank you Winger's! My kids request this for their birthdays.
Crust:
1 3/4 c. crushed Oreos + extra for topping if desired (I do this is the food processor)
1/3 c. melted butter
1/4 c. sugar
softened mint ice cream, 1 or 2
caramel sauce
I use 1 container of ice cream, but you can do more for a taller pie. Allow ice cream to soften on the counter for about an hour. Crush Oreos in a food processor, add butter and sugar and pulse until combined. Press into a springform pan. It's easiest to use this type of pan. I have made it in pie pans and brownie pans, but it is really tricky to cut the frozen crust while it is in a pan like this. Crazy story, my husband cut his thumb really badly when cutting this in a pie pan. He had to get several stitches! We love this dessert, so we had to figure out a safer method. Ha ha. When using the springform pan, I wrap the bottom with plastic wrap. Place crust in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Once ice cream is softened, about half-way melted, place spoonfuls of ice cream all over the crust, this makes it easier to spread it without disturbing the crust. Spread evenly. Cover and freezer for at least 4-5 hours. Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs, remove from pan, remove plastic wrap, and place on a cutting board to slice. Serve with caramel sauce.
