Friendship Peppermint Mud Pie
This festive recipe was shared with us by Lori Vincent of Alpine, Utah and is delicious any time of year! She writes, "Each year for Christmas, I get together with four dear friends for Christmas brunch. For the past 12 years, we’ve met once a month at a different home to craft together. It’s a great time for us to have “girl time” and share what’s going on in our lives. At Christmas, we traditionally eat pie, so whenever I make this recipe, I always think of my best friends!
14-oz. pkg. chocolate sandwich cookies,
crushed and divided
6 T. butter
1/2 gal. peppermint ice cream
16-oz. jar hot fudge ice cream topping
8-oz. container frozen whipped topping,
thawed
Set aside 1/4 cup cookie crumbs. Combine remaining cookie crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 13"x9" baking pan; press firmly to cover bottom of pan. Slice ice cream into 1/2-inch slices and layer over crumb crust. Freeze until solid. At serving time, spoon fudge topping over ice cream and spread whipped topping to edges.
