Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Take the chocolate chip cookie dough and press it evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish, creating a smooth cookie crust. Use your fingers to ensure an even layer that covers the entire dish.
- Bake the cookie crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- While the cookie crust is cooling, gently wash and slice the strawberries. Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to make it easier to spread.
- Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly across the cookie base, creating a smooth layer.
- Sprinkle the sliced strawberries and blueberries over the ice cream layer, distributing them evenly.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the fruit and ice cream layer, creating an artistic pattern.
- Place the pie in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until the ice cream is completely firm and set.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve immediately. Store any leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Perfect Cookie Crust: Ensure your cookie dough is evenly pressed into the pie dish for a consistent bake. If you want an extra crispy crust, bake it a few minutes longer but keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Fruit Freshness: Use ripe, fresh strawberries and blueberries for the best flavor. If they are too ripe, they may become mushy when layered on the ice cream.
- Ice Cream Softening: Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften just enough to spread easily without melting too much. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
- Melting White Chocolate: When melting white chocolate, be cautious as it can burn easily. Stir frequently and use short intervals in the microwave to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Freezing Time: Patience is key! Make sure to freeze the pie for at least 2-3 hours to ensure it sets properly. If you want to prepare it ahead of time, it can be made a day in advance.
- Serving Suggestion: For a fun twist, serve each slice with a scoop of additional vanilla ice cream on the side, or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence.
- Garnishing: Fresh mint leaves not only add a pop of color but also a refreshing taste that complements the sweetness of the pie beautifully.
