This Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie is a fun quick-prep dessert for any time of the year! It's made with Chapman's Yukon ice cream sandwiches and Mint Chip ice cream in a no-bake chocolate cookie crust. It's easy to make but looks impressive!

Ingredients

300 grams chocolate sandwich cookies (or 2½ cups chocolate baking crumbs)
½ cup melted butter
4 Chapman's Yukon Ice Cream Sandwiches (any flavour)
2 litres Chapman's Markdale Creamery Mint Chip Ice Cream
Whipped cream, ice cream sandwich cubes, mini chocolate chips and fresh mint leaves for garnish as desired.

Instructions

Combine cookies and melted butter in a food processor and process until crushed and smooth. (If using chocolate baking crumbs, you can simply stir the two together).
Press into a 9" deep dish pie plate or springform pan (if using a springform pan, be sure to line the bottom with parchment so it is easy to remove).
Place the crust into the freezer for 15 minutes and remove the mint chip ice cream to allow it to soften slightly.
Meanwhile, unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and cut each sandwich into 9 squares. Return to the freezer.
Remove the crust from the freezer and spoon some of the ice cream into the bottom. Top with some of the ice cream sandwich cubes, pressing them into the softened ice cream gently.
Top with more of the ice cream, spreading it into the spaces between the ice cream sandwiches as much as you can. Top with more ice cream sandwich cubes and continue until all ice cream is used (you may have extra ice cream sandwiches depending on the size of your pit plate -- I like to cover all of mine with ice cream, but you can also have some dotting the top).
Freezer for 6 hours or until firm.
Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with whipped cream, ice cream sandwich cubes, mini chocolate chips and fresh mint leaves as desired.
