Sometimes you can eat cookie dough safely and this is how.
Is It Safe?
When I was growing up, after we baked cookies or cakes, we were allowed to lick the bowl and the beaters. My parents didn’t worry about raw eggs and getting salmonella poisoning. These days, it can be a concern and as a result cookie dough batter is a no-no since it contains raw eggs and flour. Who knew flour could be a threat? I certainly didn’t. However, you don’t need to worry about eating this no bake cookie dough pie because there are no eggs! And you heat the flour before adding it into your pie. The microwaved flour will ‘cook’ off any e. coli that might be present.
Ingredients Needed
This chocolate chip cookie dough pie will be a favorite as far as pie recipes are concerned. It has an incredible wow factor in terms of taste as well as presentation. I don’t know anyone who would refuse a cookie dough pie solely because they don’t like the taste. Maybe because they want to avoid the calories, but definitely not because they don’t enjoy the taste!
Ingredients needed for this yummy pie are not lengthy. You will need:
- 3/4 cup Flour
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup White Sugar
- 1/3 cup Butter softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 Graham Cracker Crust
Topping
- 1.25 cups Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp Butter
Those are typical cookie dough ingredients, nothing crazy. I’m sure you are not surprised by this list. And do you see that eggs are missing? I told you this was a safe cookie dough recipe!
How To Make The Pie
So with this chocolate chip cookie dough pie, you won’t need to bake it in the oven. That’s a great thing, it saves a lot of time. Nonetheless, rather than baking it in the oven, after you prepare the pie, you will need to let it firm up in the refrigerator. And this can take approximately an hour. So please plan ahead when promising this yummy dessert to your eager guests!
As previously mentioned, you will need to heat the flour before adding it to your pie. Then, you will cream the butter and sugars together. Next, add milk and vanilla to the mixture. And then add the pasteurized flour slowly, mixing the cookie dough thoroughly. After that, add in the chocolate chips. Finally, add the cookie dough to the pie crust. Now, move on to the topping. Don’t worry this is super easy. Just microwave the butter and chocolate chips so that they melt. After melted and stirred, pour the ganache on top of the pie. Then let the pie firm up in the refrigerator for approximately 1 hour.
A great thing about needing to let this pie sit in the frig, you can make this ahead of time and it will be a good thing. If you are planning on serving this for a party, go ahead and make it the day before. That way you won’t have to worry about getting that prepped the day of the party.
Serving The Pie
Once the chocolate topping has firmed up, this pie will be ready to serve. If the chocolate chip cookie dough pie has been refrigerated for more than 1 hour, take the pie out of the refrigerator a good 15 to 20 minutes before slicing it up. The harder the chocolate is, the more likely it will be to crack, and thus, crumbling, as you cut into it. After making such a delicious dessert, you want the presentation to look as good as it tastes. Get those “oohs and ahhs” from your guests. Don’t mess it up at the very end!
