Take your ice cream out of the freezer and put it on the kitchen counter for 15 minutes to let it soften.
Place ice cream in a big bowl, add chopped macadamia nuts and coconut extract and mix everything well with a wooden spoon.
Line an 8 inch (1.5 QT) mixing bowl with plastic wrap and lightly spray with oil spray.
Pour the ice cream mixture in the bowl, smooth the top then cover and freeze 9+ hours or overnight.

Pulse the Oreos in food processor until crumbed.
Place in a deep bowl and top with melted butter, mix well.
Pour the Oreo mixture into a 9 inch pie dish.
Spread crumbs with your hands pressing them against the bottom and sides of the pie dish. You can also use a measuring cup to press the crumbs into the dish.
Freeze for a couple of hour or overnight.

Remove both pie crust and ice cream from freezer.
Uncover the ice cream and carefully place the ice cream bowl upside down on the Oreo crust. Remove the plastic wrap.
Microwave the fudge for 10 seconds, stir and make sure it is not hot, just stir-able.
Spoon about 1 cup of the fudge over the ice cream dome and spread evenly.
Freeze for another 30 minutes.
Remove pie from freezer, slice and garnish with whipped cream, more macadamia nuts and fudge if desired.

You can use a store bought Oreo crust.
You can use macadamia ice cream if available.
Macadamia ice cream has a hint of coconut that's why we need the coconut flavor but feel free to skip if you do not like it.
Use store bought or homemade fudge topping.
Do no microwave the fudge as it says on the jar, if store bought, this will warm it up too much and when poured over the ice cream it will make a mess and the ice cream will melt.
It helps to dip a clean knife into hot water then wipe it dry before slicing. This will give you a beautiful smooth and clean cut. Rewarm the knife between cuts.
If you do not have a food processor, you can put the Oreo cookies in a sealed bag and roll them with a rolling pin until finely crushed.

Storage:

Leftover over Hula pie can wrapped and kept in your freezer for up 1 to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, let thaw for 15 minutes for easier slicing. It is not recommended to store Hula pie in the refrigerator as the ice cream will melt.
