Cookie dough lovers will think they’ve died and gone to heaven with this amazing Cookie Dough Ice Cream Pie. It’s simple, its rich, and oh my, it’s delicious!
There are some recipes you just know are going to be amazing before you ever even give them a try. This Cookie Dough Ice Cream Pie definitely falls into that category. It’s pretty hard to go wrong with cookie dough and ice cream jammed into a cookie pie crust.
How to Make Cookie Dough Ice Cream Pie
This is a brief overview of this amazing recipe. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Make the pie crust. Press refrigerated cookie dough into a 9 inch pie pan. Line the pan with aluminum foil and then add coins, dry beans, or pie weights.
- Make the cookie dough. Beat together brown sugar and butter. Then beat in vanilla. Add in the pre-baked flour and finally the mini chocolate chips. Press it into a baking sheet, refrigerate for an hour and then cut into cookie dough pieces.
- Make the no-churn ice cream. Combine cool whip and sweetened condensed milk. Add in a little vanilla.
- Put it all together. You will add half of your cookie dough pieces to the cool whip mixture. Then add that to the cooled pie crust. Top with the remaining pieces.
- Freeze the pie. The pie will need to be frozen overnight to fully set. When ready to serve, allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Pre-Baking Flour
A key step to this recipe is to pre-bake the flour. All purpose flour has the small chance of containing E. coli. There have been outbreaks in the past, and for this reason, I recommend spreading the flour on a baking sheet and baking for 5 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Variations and Substitutions
- Swap out the crust. If making a cookie dough crust feels daunting, you could use a pre-bought graham cracker crust. You could also use my fool proof pie crust recipe and fully bake it before adding the ice cream mixture. You will need to weigh it down as we do here.
- Make it chocolatey. You could add 1/2 a cup of fudge sauce to the cool whip and sweetened condensed milk to make a chocolate ice cream base.
- Top it with more goodness. For serving, consider making whipped cream and fudge sauce to go on top of this delicious pie.
