Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Rich, gooey and over-the-top decadent chocolate chip cookie pie is so easy to make with a flaky pie crust, dulce de leche and cookie dough!

Total Time: 40

Ingredients

1 (30-ounce) package chocolate chip cookie dough (I used Nestle)
1 9-inch pie shell , divided (no need to pre-bake)
¼ cup dulce de leche (canned caramel)

Optional: Semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips (for decorating the top), Vanilla ice cream, Hot fudge, Caramel sauce

Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Add cookie dough to pie crust. Spread 1/2 cookie dough over the bottom of the pie crust. Top evenly with the 1/4 cup dulce de leche over top of the dough.
Add cookie dough over dulce de leche. Spread enough dough to cover the dulce de leche. You don't need to use all of the cookie dough (I only used about 3/4 of the package). Top with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
Bake. Place on a baking sheet and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is crisp and the center is cooked. It's okay for the pie to be slightly gooey in the center. I prefer it that way.
Cool. Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge or caramel, if desired.

Notes

Variations:

Homemade ingredients. Feel free to make your own homemade pie crust, chocolate chip cookie dough and caramel sauce.
No crust version. You can also make this recipe in a cast iron skillet without the pie crust (similar to a pizookie). Just press the dough into the skillet and bake until the edges are slightly golden.

Decorations. Sometimes I like to add extra chocolate chips to the top to make it look prettier. I just added a border of chocolate chips and made a heart in the center. You could simply just place a few extra chocolate chips on top or get creative with your design.

Make-ahead. This dessert can easily be made ahead of time. If you want to serve it warm, bake in the oven at 200°F for 3-5 minutes right before serving. You can also warm each piece in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Store. Store covered at room temperature for 3-5 days or you can also keep it covered in the refrigerator. You could also wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe container for 2 months. Thaw and enjoy.
