Step 1 | The Crust
This delicious recipe calls for a Chocolate Chip Cookie Crust. You can make a homemade crust with crunchy cookies or you can purchase the premade version.
I love making it myself so I can choose the brand of cookies I like best or use part of a batch of homemade cookies that got a little too crunchy!
The simple ingredients included in my recipe yield a semi-sweet chocolate chips buttery pie crust and one of the most decadent desserts!
Step 2 | Mix the Creamy Filling
With room temperature cream cheese, place the soft block in a large mixing bowl. Add in the powdered sugar and stir it with a spatula until creamy smooth. Then add in the vanilla and mix.
Next, you will fold in the thawed whipped topping (reserving about 4 ounces for the top of the pie) into the large bowl with the cream cheese filling until the mixture is creamy and just incorporated. It should be light and fluffy!
Step 3 | Fold in the Sweet
Take about 6 Chocolate Chip Cookies and break them or chop them into large pieces. Break them over a medium bowl or in a zippered bag so you keep all the crumbs! - no wasting cookies y'all!
Now gather your colors of M&Ms for the appropriate holiday. For this patriotic pie recipe, I used red, white, and blue, but you can choose any color you want!
To the cream cheese filling mixture, you will add the cookie crumbles and the M&Ms and fold gently so you do not break the candies and cookies too much.
Step 4 | Filling the Crust
Perhaps the best thing about this cookie cream pie is the layers of goodness! the first layer is the chocolate chip cookie crust.
Get out the crust and use the spatula to spoon in the candy cream cheese filling and smooth it to the edges of the pie crust.
Once chilled and firm the next layer is the thawed whipped topping! Take the reserved whipped topping and smooth over the creamy pie filling.
Then refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving to allow the pie to firm up a bit.
Once chilled and firm the next layer is the thawed whipped topping! Take the reserved whipped topping and smooth over the creamy pie filling.
Then you can top the pie with any sprinkles you see fit for the occasion! Then when serving, you can even add a scoop of vanilla ice cream - but I digress!
HINT: If you are not serving the pie that day, wait to top the filling with the whipped topping and the sprinkles until the day of. You don't want the sprinkles to bleed their beautiful colors into the whipped cream unless you are looking for that tie-dyed look!
So festive isn't it?
Tips
- Use a crunchy cookie, like Chips Ahoy, not a soft bakery-style cookie for the filling. You want the cookie to hold up in the filling.
- Cookie sizes vary from brand to brand so just coarsely chop until you get about 1 cup.
- This will work in a 9-inch pie plate or an 8 or 9-inch round or square pan.
