Rest In Pie

It's almost Halloween which has meant I've had to step up my game. This spooky graveyard pie is easy and fun. I got the inspiration from this Martha Stewart recipe, but I pretty much completely changed it.

What you will need:
Pie pan
16 Graham crackers
1 stick unsalted butter
1.5 quarts Breyers Oreo blast ice cream (or whatever other flavor you pick)
Oreos (10 just cookies...and yes that means you get to split them apart and eat the side with the frosting, and 5 with the frosting)
5 milano cookies (I picked 5, you can use however many will fit)
1 small tube red gel frosting
1 toothpick
Blender- optional, but makes your life a lot easier

What you do:
1) Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees 
2) Grease the pie pan.
3) Break up the graham crackers into large pieces in the blender (if you aren't using a blender put them in a zip-lock bag and mash with your hands into small pieces), and use the chop setting to make small pieces.  You may have to turn the blender off, shake it up a bit, then press chop again.
4) While this is happening, melt butter in the microwave, and let it cool slightly before pouring over the graham cracker crumbs, and press chop again until the butter is fully mixed.
5) Pour graham crackers into greased pie pan and press down with clean hands. I found that pressing down the sides first was easier. Make sure that it is even all around.
6) Put the pie pan in the oven for about 10 minutes/until the crust is SLIGHTLY browned. When it is done, take it out, and let it cool completely.
7) While the crust is in the oven, prepare the gravestones. Put 5 or so Milanos on a plate. Squeeze a little red gel frosting onto the plate, and with the tip of a toothpick scoop up a little of the gel.  Be very careful, and write R.I.P. on each of the Milanos.
8) Leave them flat on the plate, so that the gel doesn't drip.
9) While the pie crust is cooling, spoon the ice cream into a bowl and stir with a spoon until smooth.
10) Pour onto crust, and spread evenly, and set aside.
11) In the blender use the chop setting to crush the oreos into crumbs.
12) Use spoon to spread over the ice cream, and put the grave stones in.
13) Put into freezer overnight. Serve cold ;)
