Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Filling:

2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream (or your preferred ice cream flavor)

1/2 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

For the Topping:

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Chocolate syrup, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Stir the mixture until it resembles damp sand.

      - Press this cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a muffin tin or mini tartlet pans, using your fingers or the back of a measuring spoon to ensure it is compact and even.

        - Place the crusts in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes to set and firm up.

          Fill with Ice Cream:

            - Retrieve the crusts from the freezer. Allow the mint chocolate chip ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.

              - With a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill each crust with the softened ice cream, pressing down gently to create an even surface. Optionally, top each pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream for added fluffiness.

                Chill:

                  - Return the filled mini pies to the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until they are fully set and firm.

                    Decorate:

                      - Once the mini ice cream pies have set, take them out of the freezer. Prior to serving, sprinkle each pie with mini chocolate chips, add a few fresh mint leaves for garnish, and drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the top for a delightful finish.

                        Serve:

                          - Carefully remove the ice cream pies from the muffin tin or tartlet pans by gently pushing from the bottom. Serve immediately and indulge in the refreshing, creamy pleasure of your Choco-Mint Dream Mini Ice Cream Pies!
