Sabrina’s Tips
It takes time for the frozen pie to set properly. Once it’s frozen solid, take the pie from freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving so it’s easy to cut slices. For the best taste and texture, don’t add the final toppings until you are ready to serve. This will keep them from getting soft/chewy while in the freezer.

About this Recipe
My Oreo Coffee Pie is like a cross between a pie and an ice cream cake with its creamy chocolate espresso filling and chocolate cookie crust. The combination of Oreo cookies, cream topping, and coffee ice cream filling makes this frozen pie unique and delicious. Think of it like a cookies n’ creme mocha latte but as a frozen chocolatey treat that can feed a crowd! It is sure to be a favorite summer dessert, especially if you are a coffee lover!
Ingredients
- Coffee Ice Cream: You can store bought ice cream or a homemade ice cream recipe. If you are using homemade ice cream, make sure the ice cream is fully frozen. If you use store-bought, you want to use a quality coffee ice cream. You want it soft enough to easily mix in the cookies but you don’t want it to be melted.
- Oreos: These iconic chocolate sandwich cookies have been a favorite treat for generations! The dark chocolate crumbs are made with a special cocoa powder so they have a deep chocolate flavor. The sweet creme filling has a tasty vanilla flavor that balances out all the bold coffee and cocoa flavors. They are in every layer of this amazing pie, from the crust to the chopped cookies in the layer of ice cream to more crumbs in the whipped cream.
- Cookie Crust: The cookie crumb crust is made from the whole sandwich cookies including the creme filling. This means you don’t want to add too much additional sugar. The melted butter helps moisten the crumbs and you don’t need to bake the crust for it to hold together.
- Whipped Topping: The creamy, sweet coffee whipped topping is made with whipping cream, instant coffee granules or espresso powder, additional chocolate cookie crumbs, and a little bit of vanilla. It gets beaten until it’s nice and fluffy and even though it will freeze slightly, it still stays creamy when you cut into it.
Can this be made ahead of time?
You absolutely need to prepare this pie ahead of time with at least 4 hours so it can set. If you are making homemade coffee ice cream, it’s best to make that the night before so that it is completely frozen before you get started. The pie crust can be made about 2 weeks in advance, just wrap it up in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight freezer bag. The whipped cream is the only thing you should make the same day so it stays perfectly fluffy and slightly firm.
How to Store
- Serve: Because of the ice cream in the recipe, you don’t want to leave this pie out at room temperature for more than an hour or so. However, you do want to let it sit out for about 10 minutes so it’s easy to slice.
- Store: To store the pie, keep it in the freezer. It’s best to keep it in the freezer unless you are serving.
- Freeze: Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it for up to 3 months.
Ideas to Serve
If you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add additional toppings like Chocolate Sauce or a Hot Fudge Chocolate Sauce. You can also add a peanut butter drizzle. Put the peanut butter in the microwave for a few seconds to loosen it up before drizzling it over the top. For a more sweet flavor try my Caramel Sauce.
Frequent Questions
The ice cream mixture is made with creamy coffee ice cream, and there are coffee granules called for in the recipe. Due to the caffeine content, this isn’t the best recipe for kids. If you want to make it for the whole family, you can leave out the coffee granules and get a non-caffeinated brand of coffee ice cream.
You can absolutely get creative with your choice of ice cream flavors, especially if you want to make this ice cream for folks who can’t have coffee. Try it with chocolate chip ice cream, caramel ice cream, or peanut butter ice cream.
Variations
- Chocolate Ice Cream: You can try making this pie with chocolate ice cream instead of coffee ice cream. Whisk the chocolate ice cream with the oreo chunks, and continue the rest of the recipe as you normally would. Oreo Ice Cream Chocolate Pie will be a dream come true for any chocolate lover.
- Vanilla Ice Cream: Just like with chocolate, you can replace the coffee ice cream in the recipe with Vanilla Ice Cream.
- Irish Coffee Ice Cream Pie: For Irish Coffee Ice Cream Pie mix in 2 tablespoons of Irish whiskey with the filling. You could also use a coffee-flavored liqueur in Irish Coffee Ice Cream Pie. Bailey’s Irish cream is one of the most popular coffee-flavored liqueurs and it keeps well with the Irish theme. The only drawback to this version of the ice cream pie is you won’t be able to serve it to kids. However, if you want a slightly boozy dessert to share with friends it’s a delicious way to go.
- Toppings: You can use any of your favorite ice cream toppings to add on top of this dessert. For even more richness, add chocolate-covered coffee beans, or extra chocolate shavings before serving. You can also add some sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
