asphalt pie

Whenever we are on the west coast, we like to get this little piece of heaven at Winger's. We love to get this dessert, it is super yummy. That is why I wasn't surprised when my husband requested we have it on Father's Day, and since he was considered King of the Day, I was happy to oblige. It is a fast and easy to make, and everywhere we have take it we have had requests for the recipe. Just be careful because it can be terribly addicting. I just had another piece about an hour ago, and I think it may be calling my name for a second. Don't worry, I just had a little first piece that way I can justify a much larger second piece, right?

Asphalt Pie 
1 (18oz) pkg            Oreo cookies

1/4 c                         butter, melted

       1 c                            hot fudge topping

                          2 qt                          mint chocolate chip ice cream

1. Crush half of the cookies (about 20) to crumbs. Combine crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9" spring-form pan or pie plate. Stand remaining cookies around edge of pan. Spread 3/4c. fudge over crust. Freeze 15 minutes.


2. Meanwhile, soften ice cream in microwave or on counter top. After crust has chilled, spread softened ice cream over fudge layer, freeze until firm (4hrs-overnight). 


To serve, garnish with more hot fudge, whipped topping and cherries.
