Description

Maui’s famed ice cream pie made with Oreo Crust, Hershey’s topping, macadamias and coffee ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 3 Tbs butter
  • 2 – 1/2 gallons coffee ice cream (or vanilla or macadamia nut)
  • 12.8 oz jar Hershey’s hot fudge topping
  • 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 2 Tbs sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Blend Oreos in a food processor until pulverized into a fine crumble, then add in 3 Tbs softened butter and blend until butter is incorporated.
  3. Pour the Oreo crumbs into a shallow pie plate and smash evenly into the pie plate. Be sure that the corners are equal thickness with the rest of the crust.
  4. Bake the Oreo crust at 375F for 8 minutes to cause the Oreos to re-bind with one another.
  5. Remove from oven, cool and then place in the freezer for at least an hour. You don’t want to put the ice cream into a warm crust, otherwise it will melt and make a huge mess.
  6. Once the crust is fully cooled, remove the ice cream from the freezer and scoop all of it into a large bowl. Mash the ice cream with a spoon so as to break it up and expedite softening, but don’t let it soften too much. It needs to be firm enough to pile up into a dome.
  7. Next, pile the ice cream into the pie crust and make it like a large “mountain” dome on top of the crust. Use a spatula to smooth it out, then place it in the freezer for at least 8 hours. Do not try to do this step too quickly because you need the surface of the ice cream fully frozen for the next step.
  8. After 8 hours or more, take the pie from the freezer and pour the Hershey’s hot fudge (not heated) topping on top and spread around the pie evenly (I tested four different “ganaches” and this was the best consistency and most comparable to the Maui version). Do this extremely quickly because it the pie is out too long, the surface of the ice cream will start to melt and your ganache will roll off the sides. Immediately put it back into the freezer for at least an hour, if not longer.
  9. Next, top with chopped macadamia nuts.
  10. Then, decorate the top with a piping bag filled with whipped cream with 2 Tbs sugar added.
  11. Place back into the freezer until ready to serve.
