This is actually one of my favorite Christmas desserts! But I am a serious ice cream lover! It is a rich, simple combination of oreos, fudge, and ice cream…mmmm. For non-chocolate eaters, try using vanilla oreos and caramel sauce for a blondie version of this cool treat.
Mud Pie

1 package Oreo cookies
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 gallon (1 box) peppermint ice cream, or other favorite flavor, keep frozen
1 jar hot fudge (I only use about 1/2 a jar because I like a pretty thin layer, but it’s up to you)
1 container cool whip, mostly thawed
Crush about 26 Oreos. Mix in melted butter. Press into bottom of 9 x 13 or pie pan. It will still be pretty crumbly. Slice ice cream into about 1″ sections and place over crust. If you make the sections too thick you will not have enough ice cream to cover the entire crust. If you like a thicker ice cream layer you could just use more ice cream next time:) I like to take a knife and quickly kind of work the sections together a bit. Work quick because you don’t want you’re ice cream to melt. Spoon and spread layer of fudge (not heated) over ice cream. Spread cool whip over fudge. You can put more crushed Oreos on top as garnish. Freeze mud pie and keep in freezer except for serving.

i made this for my birthday this year and it was sooooooooo good. i was thinking it would be good with peanut butter, vanilla or chocolate ice cream,and more crushed oreos.
I cannot wait to make this!! I keep waiting of a reason to but it might just be for fhe next week or something! :) It is SO good!!
I love this and have made it a few times especially in the summer when the heat is on!! Love how easy it is and that you can use any ice cream you want!!
I LOVE any kind of ice cream cake – yum!
I made this for our family night treat & everyone gave it two thumbs up. The best tip of all was cutting the ice cream into 1-inch slices. I could keep the ice cream from totally melting & still have a nice smooth surface. YUM-o-rama!
This sounds divine! I'm going to make it for Christmas!
Your blog has some amazing recipes and it's making me hungry!!! lol
How is that icrecream layer thick like that? I’m not understanding how you cut up the icecream and layer it to be thick like that in your picture? I’m thinking more laid down flat?
Thanks for this recipe. We made it last year for my son’s 8th birthday, and he wants it again for his 9th birthday. We love it!
