Cookie Dough Lovers Ice Cream Pie

I certainly hope you like chocolate chip cookie dough. And cookie dough ice cream.

Because there is a whole lotta cookie dough happenin’ today!

You know when you’re eating chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and it’s really just vanilla ice cream with 2 chunks of cookie dough?  What a let down! Where is all the cookie dough?!

Well I decided to change all that today. Cookie dough lovers, meet your new best friend.  She’s melty, chocolate-y, creamy, and oh-so-doughy!  Each bite is full of cookie dough – 2-3 cookie dough chunks per bite!  Yep, I counted. This ice cream pie is to die for!

So I have got to tell you something.

Have you read or seen ‘Divergent’ yet? I am completely addicted!

I saw the movie the weekend it came out and again the following weekend. Then I decided to read the books.

Normally when I read books first, I’m disappointed with the movie. I’m kind of glad I saw the movie first because that disappointment wasn’t there. Plus, Theo James now is who I picture when I read about Four/Tobias and that ain’t so bad. 

What has been bad is that I cannot. stop. reading. I have barely done any baking this week (or anything else for that matter) because all I want to do is come home and read. I’ve been dying to know how it ends so I keep going. I have so much I need to get done.

INGREDIENTS

COOKIE DOUGH

• 6 tbsp butter
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/8 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp milk
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

CRUST

• 15–20 oreos
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

FILLING

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar

• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided

INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE THE COOKIE DOUGH:

1. Cream the butter, sugar and dark brown sugar
2. Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. Add the flour and milk and mix thoroughly. The dough will be thick.
4. Mix in the chocolate chips.
5. Roll the dough into little balls that are between 1/2 and 3/4 inch in diameter. Or, I actually made my balls closer to 3/4 of an inch to an inch and then cut them either in half or fourths after they were frozen.
6. Freeze the balls of dough.

MAKE THE PIE CRUST:

1. Crush the oreos into a fine crumb. I like to use my food processor.
2. Mix the oreo crumbs with the melted butter.
3. Press into the bottom of a greased 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Set in the freezer while you make the filling.

MAKE THE PIE FILLING:

1. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and brown sugar together with a mixer. Mix until smooth.
2. Add the Cool Whip and mix thoroughly.
3. Stir in a 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips and about 3/4 of the frozen cookie dough balls.
4. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
5. Top with remaining cookie dough balls and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips.
6. Allow to freeze completely before serving.
