Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 1 pie crust

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 crispy chocolate chip cookies, store-bought or homemade and overbaked (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Put the cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground; transfer to a bowl. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix to combine. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the cookies are evenly coated with the butter.
  • Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate to form a pie crust, making sure that all surfaces are even. If you're making a no-bake pie, bake the crust before adding the filling: Bake at 375 degrees F until the crust is dry, about 10 minutes; the time will vary depending on how crispy the cookies are. If the pie you are preparing is baked, do not pre-cook the crust. Add the filling and cook the pie according to the recipe instructions.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 pound purchased frozen semisweet chocolate chip cookie dough, thawed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 large egg yolks
2 1/3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon dark rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 medium bananas, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Chocolate curls (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Arrange 3/4 of cookie dough in prepared dish (reserve remaining dough for another use). Press dough evenly onto bottom and up sides of dish, building high-standing dough edge on rim of dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup nuts; press nuts into dough. Pierce dough all over with toothpick. Freeze crust 1 hour.Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Fold 36-inch-long piece of foil lengthwise into thirds, forming 36x4-inch strip. Place pie dish on baking sheet. Stand foil strip snugly around dish, protecting outer edge of crust; secure overlap with paper clip. Bake crust until golden and dry to touch, about 25 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, whisk 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt to blend in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk in yolks; gradually add milk, whisking until smooth. Whisk over medium-high heat until custard thickens and boils, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, rum, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Transfer to large bowl; cool to lukewarm, whisking occasionally, about 45 minutes.
  • Spread 1 cup custard in crust. Top with 3 sliced bananas, then remaining custard, covering bananas completely. Chill pie until filling sets, about 2 hours. Beat cream, powdered sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla in medium bowl to peaks. Spread cream over pie. Refrigerate at least 1 and up to 8 hours. Garnish pie with chocolate curls, if desired. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips are good choices.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough, or the crust will be tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
  • Be careful not to overbake the crust. It should be golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from cracking.

Conclusion:

A chocolate chip cookie pie crust is a delicious and easy way to add a special touch to your favorite pies and tarts. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and crispy texture, this crust is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
