My mother served this pretty pie for my birthday dinner one year, and now it's one of my favorites. Fudge sauce, chopped pecans and coffee ice cream top the chocolate crumb crust. Sometimes I garnish the pie with dollops of whipped cream. -Amy Theis Billings, Montana

My family absolutely loves this pie. My neice requests this pie all the time! I normally make my own oreo cookie crust (18-20 oreo cookies w/ 3 Tbs. of melted butter in a food processor). It's pretty quick to make once you get the hang of it...totally worth the wait!
