Directions
Chocolate Wafer
Pie Crust

if using packaged pre-made pie crust.)
Preheat oven to 350°

To a medium mixing bowl,
add cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Stir or
whisk until mixture is thoroughly blended and has
the texture of wet sand.
Pour the chocolate crumb
mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press with your
fingers or the back of a large spoon on bottom and
sides of pie pan to make a firm crust. Place in oven
and bake for 10 minutes. Remove pie crust from oven
and cool on a cooling rack.
Pie
In a
small bowl, break up 12 of the chocolate sandwich
wafer cookies into about 1/2 pieces. Set aside. In a
medium bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar and beat
with an electric hand mixer until light and creamy.
Add in the whipped cream and broken cookie pieces
and fold until whipped cream is fully blended in
with cream cheese mixture.
After pie crust has completely cooled, spoon mixture
into the pie crust and refrigerate about 2 hours or
until firm.
Optional garnish: When ready to serve, cut 4 cookies in
half, trying not to crumble them (though if you do,
no worry, because you should still have plenty more
cookies left over). Apply whipped cream
from can around entire edge of pie, then apply a
dollop of whipped cream on the center of each
individual serving (about 2 inches in diameter) and
place 1/2 of a cookie in the dollop, cut side down
and pointing towards center of pie
(see photo for example).
