#1279 - Frozen Orange Sherbet Pie

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 pint good quality orange sherbet (softened)
1 - 8oz. Cool Whip (thawed)
1 - 9" ready-made chocolate pie crust
1 cup chopped Oreo cookies (plus extra if you wish)

In a bowl add softened sherbet--stir until it's not lumpy. Add 1/2 of the Cool Whip--stir until well mixed. Pour the sherbet mixture into the ready-made chocolate crust. Use your hands to crumble enough Oreo cookies to make 1 cup. Spread the cookie pieces over the top of the pie--use the back of a spoon to press the cookie pieces into the sherbet mixture. Spread the rest of the Cool Whip on the top of the pie--smooth it out using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle more cookie pieces on top of the Cool Whip if you wish. Place pie in freezer overnight. When ready to serve, set the pie on the counter for a few minutes to make it easier to cut.
