Adding Ice Cream Filling:
When crust is fully cool, remove  1 cup of Ice Cream  from container and let  soften for about 10 minutes  at room temperature until slightly soft. (Ice Cream texture should be spreadable- not melted.)
Spoon ice cream into crust and spread with a knife or spatula. Remove any excess then flatten the top of the ice cream making sure to spread and press the ice cream evenly into the crust.
If adding sprinkles, chocolate or candy pieces or nuts, press down across the top of the Ice Cream Cookie Pie.
Immediately add the cardboard disk  to support the bottom and freeze until hard. (Best if frozen overnight.)
