.
Step 3- Ice Cream Layer.
Place the softened ice cream into the pan and spread evenly.
Step 4- Cool Whip Layer.
Spread the Cool Whip evenly on top of the ice cream layer.
Step 5- Cookie topping.
Crush the rest of the cookies into smaller pieces and add to the edge of the ice cream pie.
Step 6- Chocolate Drizzle.

How Long Does Mint Ice Cream Pie Last in the Freezer?
You can keep this ice cream pie in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure it is tightly wrapped. If you leave any air exposure, then you can expect it to freeze into a solid state and become unappetizing. When serving the pie you will notice that the cookies around the edge of the pie will be soggy. This is normal, and they will be the most delicious part of the pie!
