Ice Cream Mud Pie

Spice told me this is by far her favorite thing I have ever made before. Everytime she sits down with a piece she raves about how delicious it is and then scolds me for making something so delicious and that I should never make it again. Too bad, Spice, cause I like it too and of COURSE I am going to make it again! Duh!

Tah dah! This is what the white chocolate ice cream went towards. I told you you wouldn't be disappointed! It was perfect. It perfectly set off the chocolate of the oreo crust and the chocolate topping. If you don't home make the ice cream, this dessert will come together in a snap. You do need to make sure you freeze it well before you serve it, but it is really easy to make. I'm not exactly sure where this recipe came from originally, but I got it from LadyJayPee at Eating, etc.
