Ingredients
Scale
Pie Base and Filling
- 1 (30-ounce) package chocolate chip cookie dough (Nestle recommended)
- 1 9-inch pie shell (unbaked)
- 1/4 cup dulce de leche (canned caramel)
- Extra chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
- Spread Bottom Layer: Take about half of the cookie dough and spread it evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell, creating a uniform layer.
- Add Dulce de Leche: Evenly spread the 1/4 cup of dulce de leche over the cookie dough layer, adding a creamy caramel flavor.
- Top with Remaining Dough: Spread enough remaining cookie dough over the dulce de leche to cover it completely. You will likely use about three-quarters of the dough in total. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for added chocolate texture.
- Bake the Pie: Place the prepared pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Bake until the top is crisp and the center is just set but still slightly gooey, which enhances the pie’s chewy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge or caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Using a baking sheet under the pie prevents any caramel or cookie dough from spilling onto the oven floor.
- Do not pre-bake the pie crust; the cookie dough will bake it as it cooks.
- For a stronger caramel flavor, you can add more dulce de leche or an additional drizzle on top after baking.
- Serving warm enhances the gooey texture and flavor of the pie.
- Optional toppings such as vanilla ice cream and hot fudge add a delicious contrast to the warm pie.
