Indulge in the luscious delight of Cookies and Cream Cafe’ Pie, a cherished family favorite perfect for festive gatherings and special occasions, especially during the holiday season.

Ingredients:
- 1 package butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup margarine
- 1 1/3 cups milk (cold)
- 1/4 cup instant coffee
- 1 package pie crust mix
- Crushed cookies (reserve 1/2 cup for topping)
Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Stir pie crust mix and butter thoroughly in a medium bowl until crumbs are well moistened. 🥄 |
| 2 | Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, creating a firm crust base. 🥧 |
| 3 | In a large bowl, pour in cold milk. |
| 4 | Add the filling mix and instant coffee to the bowl. |
| 5 | Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed for 30 seconds, ensuring thorough incorporation. |
| 6 | Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for an additional 3 minutes until the mixture is creamy and well blended. Do not underbeat! |
| 7 | Reserve 1/2 cup of the crushed cookies for the topping. |
| 8 | Gently fold the remaining crushed cookies into the filling mixture until fully incorporated. |
| 9 | Spoon the creamy filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. |
| 10 | Top the pie with the reserved crushed cookies, adding a delightful crunch to each bite. |
| 11 | Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours until it is firm, or if preferred, freeze it for 2 hours to serve frozen, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. (Both serving methods are equally delightful!) ❄️ |
