Are you looking for a showstopper frozen dessert that is also easy to make? This Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Pie is a semi-homemade treat consisting of a crunchy oatmeal crust, creamy vanilla ice cream filling topped with fudgy chocolate sauce.
Your guests will be impressed with this luscious pie. They don't need to know it only took you a few minutes to whip up.
This pie is a taste of my childhood growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"It's-It and That's That!" If you are from there, you know what I mean.
The It's It Ice Cream Sandwich is a simple delicious frozen treat that originally consisted of two oatmeal cookies, vanilla ice cream and dipped in dark chocolate. Oh my! I would try to convince my parents to let me have one whenever I got the chance.
If you want a bit truer It's-It experience with this pie use Magic Shell on top, or mix your chocolate sauce with a little coconut oil so it will harden when it gets cold. I went for simple fudge sauce drizzled on before serving.
I was going to make the oatmeal cookies using the recipe on the container of Quaker Oats (it's the best!). But, I spied a 24 pack of oatmeal raisin cookies on the discount bakery rack for $1. I couldn't resist that deal.

So if it has oatmeal does that mean it counts as healthy? I do think this would make a delicious breakfast!

There's a very strong possibility that may have happened.
