The original Eskimo Pie is an ice cream on a stick and first became a popular treat for children during the 1920s. Today, frozen ice cream bars of all varieties are available, but there is a way to enjoy a fresh take on ice cream and cookies with a frozen pie instead. Another version of Eskimo Pie is made with crushed Oreos and vanilla ice cream. If you're looking for a new dessert idea, here's how to make an Eskimo Pie.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 cup fresh butter
  • 1 package Oreos
  • 1/2 gallon French Vanilla ice cream
  • 1 carton (9 oz.) Cool Whip
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/4 cup caramel syrup
  • 1 9"x13" metal pan

Step1
Melt the butter. Place the butter in a small dish to microwave until melted, or melt in small saucepan on the stove. Set aside.
Step2
Crush the Oreos. Leave the Oreos in the sealed package and crush them with a rolling pin. Pour into medium sized mixing bowl.
Step3
Make the crust. Pour the melted butter onto the crushed Oreos and combine until moist. Press 1/2 the mixture onto bottom of metal pan, and set aside.
Step4
Prepare the ice cream. Mix the ice cream with the cool whip to create a fluffy and 'whipped' texture. Spread on top of Oreo mixture.
Step5
Finish the pie with Oreos. Spread the remaining Oreo mixture on top of ice cream filling, and press down gently.
Step6
Prepare to freeze. Cover pan with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours until set.
Step7
Cut into large squares.
Step8
Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the top, then serve and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

  • Use mint or peanut butter Oreos for variation.
  • Garnish with whole Oreos.
  • Try butterscotch syrup for a unique flavor.
  • Eskimo Pie will quickly become a family favorite; make sure you save a piece for yourself!
