Winger's Asphalt Pie

This recipe from Real Mom Kitchen tastes just like the wonderful Asphalt Pie you can get at Winger's. The only difference is that this pie has a chocolate sauce that tastes like Leatherby's Homemade Hot Fudge sauce instead of a caramel sauce. Needless to say, this pie was DELICIOUS! There wasn't any left by the time I had served up the TWO pies I made for my brother-in-law's birthday party and everyone loved it. This one is worth the time and ingredients! You will love it - especially if you're a die hard mint lover like me! This recipe and picture are courtesy of the wonderful site Real Mom Kitchen and can be found here.

WINGER'S ASPHALT PIE
From Real Mom Kitchen

1 prepared Oreo cookie pie crust (store bought or homemade)
4 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream
5 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed
Chocolate Sauce (recipe below)
Sweetened whipped cream

Let the ice cream sit out for a little bit to soften. Once softened, scoop into pie crust and spread evenly. If you use the Dreyer’s ice cream I used you’ll use almost the whole carton. Top with crushed Oreo cookies. Then top with the prepared chocolate sauce. Cover and pace in your freezer. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Top each serving with sweetened whipped cream.

Chocolate Sauce

1/2 sugar
3 oz evaporated milk or cream
3 Tbsp cocoa
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook over medium and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute and remove from stove. Allow to cool. You will have a little more than you need for the pie (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup), but just save it and use it to a bowl of ice cream another day.
