The day I created this I was really hungry for an ice cream pie with crunch! However, I wasn't in the "fast lane" mood for grocery shopping, or hours of prepping and baking. Sweet and simple was all that was needed! This recipe follows that code: Fast, easy, and full of chilled sweetness, density and rich flavors. On a lazy day, it was close as I could get to crunchy ice cream pie without the ice cream. The cookie layer gives the pie a real boost in taste and texture. Busy moms and kids will love this pie

Pat portions of the cookie mixture to cover (layer) the bottom of 9" pie plate or a removeable bottom cake pan. (Reserve remainder of crumbs for the top of pie.) Store crust in refrigerator to chill while preparing filling.
