Ice Cream Pie

Wow!   That's what I have to say about this recipe.   It is rich, creamy and oh so good.   I don't want even want to know the calorie count on this.  Best thing is, it's so versatile.  Put whatever you favorite ice cream flavors are.  If you don't like the oreo crust, go with graham cracker or a vanilla sandwich cookie crust.  You can also replace the pecans with peanuts and the ganache with caramel sauce.   So many ways to change this up.
I also like it with chocolate ice cream/oreo cookie ice cream with peanuts & butterfingers bars.

ICE CREAM PIE:
(serves 8)

Ingredients:
*24 oreo cookies
*1/4 cup butter, melted
*1 quart chocolate Ice Cream (I make my own)
*1 quart coffee Ice cream (I make my own)
*1/4 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped
*1/2 cup heavy cream
*1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
*1 cup pecans, chopped
*1 heath bar (toffee bar), broke into tiny pieces

Directions:
~In a food processor, add the Oreo cookies and blend until the texture is that of course meal.

~Stir in vanilla extract
~Set chocolate ganache aside to cool.
