For a more intense peppermint flavor, consider using peppermint extract in the ice cream layer. If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the cookies in a resealable bag using a rolling pin. To prevent the crust from sticking, you can lightly grease the pie plate before pressing in the cookie mixture. Garnish creatively with crushed peppermint candies or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
