Hula Pie is a decadent Hawaiian-inspired dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, creamy vanilla ice cream mixed with chopped macadamia nuts, and topped with rich hot fudge sauce and whipped topping. This no-bake pie combines textures and flavors for an indulgent treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 18 Oreo cookies with filling or generic version
  • 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled

Filling

  • 96 ounces (2 containers) vanilla ice cream
  • ¾ cup chopped macadamia nuts

Toppings

  • ½ cup hot fudge chocolate sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts (for garnish)
  • Canned whipped topping or thawed whipped topping like Cool Whip

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until well combined. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Soften the Ice Cream: Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for about 10-15 minutes until easy to scoop but not melted.
  3. Mix Ice Cream and Nuts: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened vanilla ice cream with ¾ cup of chopped macadamia nuts. Reserve 2 tablespoons of nuts for garnish.
  4. Prepare Ice Cream Dome: Line a 2 to 2½-quart mixing bowl with plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overhang to help lift the ice cream later. Lightly spray the plastic wrap with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spoon the ice cream mixture into the lined bowl, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 4-6 hours or until firm.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Once firm, remove the top plastic wrap, then use the overhanging plastic wrap to carefully lift the ice cream dome out of the bowl. Position the flat side of the ice cream over the chilled cookie crust in the pie plate and peel away the plastic wrap.
  6. Add Toppings: Drizzle the hot fudge chocolate sauce evenly over the ice cream. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped macadamia nuts over the top. Garnish the outer edge of the pie with canned or thawed whipped topping, piping if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use quality vanilla ice cream for best flavor.
  • Ensure the ice cream is soft but not melted for easy mixing and shaping.
  • Freezing times may vary; make sure the ice cream dome is firm before assembling.
  • You can substitute macadamia nuts with other nuts if unavailable.
  • Store leftover pie in the freezer and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
