Once baked, the cookie pie is served warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top. It’s a decadent and indulgent treat that’s perfect for sharing with friends and family on any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (you can use chocolate sandwich cookies with the filling removed)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
• Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form the crust.
• In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
• Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the cocoa mixture, whisking constantly until smooth and well combined.
• Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared cookie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
• Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

• Serve slices of chocolate cookie pie with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Variations

MINT CHOCOLATE: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract into the chocolate filling for a bright, refreshing minty contrast. If you love mint, try these with a crust made from mint chocolate sandwich cookies.

Peanut Butter Swirl: Drizzle warmed peanut butter over the top of the chocolate filling before chilling and use a toothpick to swirl into the filling for an amazing peanut butter-chocolate combo.

Salted Caramel: Drizzle salted caramel over the top before serving to add a little more sweetness and contrast in flavor.

Tips

Chill Time: The pie needs to chill for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator, which helps it set. Chill overnight for optimal results.

Cookie Crust: Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into your pie dish to make sure it doesn’t fall apart when you cut into the pie.

Gelato Grape Pie at Room Temperature Before Serving: Let the pie sit out for 10 minutes before slicing.

Storage: The leftover pie should be refrigerated. It may be stored up for 4 days.
