For the crust, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Finely crush the 24 Oreo cookies in a food processor. Add ¼ cup melted butter and mix until well combined. Press it into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie pan.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely, then place it in the freezer.

When ready to serve, beat ½ cup whipping cream in a small bowl till soft peaks form. Beat in 2 tablespoon powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla.

Notes

Topping variations. Top with mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, chopped candy bars, mini marshmallows, nuts, or drizzle on Caramel Sauce.

Store. Because the main ingredient of this chocolate pie is ice cream, it needs to be stored in the freezer. Cover with plastic wrap and then again with tinfoil before freezing. Stored properly, the pie can be kept in the freezer for 4-6 months. If you're not planning on consuming the entire pie at once, I recommend only putting toppings on each slice, because the pie will keep best without any toppings.
