- Let’s Make The Cookie Crust:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 stick of butter-softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- The Pie Part:
- 2½ cups ice cream-any type
- ½ cup hot fudge
- 16 ounce whipping cream
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Preheat Oven 350F
- Grease a 9 inch pie plate
- In a large mixing bowl cream sugars and butter
- Add in egg and vanilla
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to batter.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Press the batter evenly around the pie plate.
- Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
- While still warm run a knife along the edges of the cookie crust so it will be easier to cut.
- Cool completely.
- Evenly spread ice cream on top of cookie crust.
- Place in freezer for 15 minutes.
- Warm the hot fudge slightly and spread over ice cream. It’s ok if it drizzles down the sides, it will be covered by the whipped cream.
- Place in freezer.
- In a large bowl whip the cream and ¼ cup sugar together until it becomes thickened whipped cream.
- Divide in half. Spread one-half evenly over hot fudge layer. Use the remaining half to pipe rosettes around pie.
- Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Run a sharp knife under warm water and then make the first cut.
Because the crust is a cookie it make take a bit to get the first piece out, but it will be all worth it!
