I know ice cream cakes and pies are for summer, but this pie is good year round.I made this for a dinner party that we were having. It was for sure a big hit; who can resist ice cream, cookie dough and an Oreo crust? I have adapted this recipe from another here if you want to check it out.
When making the cookie dough balls, try to make them as small as possible. I find it to be difficult, and I tend to make them bigger and bigger the further I get. I also find that refrigerating the dough for 10-15 minutes helps firm up the dough for easier rolling.
Look at all that cookie dough! I promise you wont be disappointed by this Cookie Dough Ice Cream Pie.
Ice Cream Cookie Dough Pie
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
- Eggless Cookie Dough
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
- ⅛ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 3 tsp milk
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- Crust
- 18 oreos crushed
- ¼ cup melted butter
- Filling
- 1 container Cool Whip (8oz), thawed
- 3 heaping cups vanilla ice cream, softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start off by making the dough: Using a standing mixer or electric mixer mix,beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until light and creamy about 2-3 minutes. Then add the milk and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the salt and flour. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminium foil. Roll the cookie dough into very very small balls, about ½ inch in diameter. I used a ½ teaspoon to scoop the dough and roll into balls.Place on the cookie sheet and freeze as you prepare the crust and filling.
- **If you are finding that the dough is too sticky and hard to handle, try refrigerating it for 10 minutes.
- Crust
- Mix the melted butter and crushed oreos in a medium size bowl. Then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a nonstick 8-inch springform pan. Place in the freezer while you make the filling.
- Filling:
- Mix the thawed ice cream, cool whip and vanilla extract in a large bowl, stir until well combined.
- Put 15-20 cookie dough balls to the side, for the top of the pie. Then add the remaining cookie dough balls to the ice cream mixture. Then add another 1 cup of mini chocolate chips. Stir until it looks well combined. Pour into the prepared oreo crust, then place the remaining cookie dough balls, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips about ¼ cup. Cover with foil tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours. I made mine two days in advance.
