Black Bottom Cookies-n-Cream Ice Box Pie (this was adapted from the website below)

1 baked pie crust
1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus ¼ cup whipping cream)
10 Oreo cookies, plus more for garnish (or 1 bag mini oreos – reserving about 35 for garnish)
vanilla pudding (or oreo cookies and cream pudding), about 3 cups
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

¾ quart (3 cups) Vanilla Ice Cream. (softened)

(some additional Oreo Cookie crumbs for garnish - optional)

1. Melt chocolate chips and whipping cream in a small saucepan on low heat (about 4-5 minutes). Pour chocolate into the bottom of the cooled pie crust and use a pastry brush to coat the bottom of the crust with chocolate.

2. Prepare the Pudding as directed. Measure about 3 cups into a large mixing bowl. Crush oreos into the pudding. Mix in the vanilla ice cream. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold three-fourths of the whipped cream into oreo pudding mixture. Pour mixture into the prepared crust. Take the remaining whipped cream and pipe onto the top of the pie. Decorate with more Oreos. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
