Frozen Samoa Pie

NOMNOM: The third recipe is a frozen samoa pie! Ever heard someone say they hate girl scout cookies? Me neither! This is an amazing new version of the infamous samoa girl scout cookie. It is a great dessert and would be perfect as a birthday ice cream cake! 

Ingredients are as follows:
1 (16.5 oz.) Pillsbury Create 'n Bake Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cook Dough

1 quart French vanilla ice cream (block form preferred)

2.5 cups toasted coconut

10 fudge covered graham crackers, broken and divided

14 hard macaroon cookies, broken and divided

1 cup caramel sundae syrup

1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided Smucker's Chocolate Fudge Magic Shell Topping

How to:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F

Grease the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Spread the cookie dough evenly across the bottom and bake for 18-22 minutes

Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes

Spread 1/3 of the coconut, 1/3 of the chocolate chips, and 1/3 of the caramel on top of the cookie layer

Using a large butcher knife slice the ice cream block into 1-inch sections. Take half of the ice cream sections and spread evenly across the chocolate chip layer. If necessary, break ice cream segments up to make sure all gaps are filled

Layer half of the fudge covered graham crackers, half of the broken macaroon cookies, 1/3 of the chocolate chips, 1/3 of the coconut(press into ice cream), and 1/3 of the caramel on top of the ice cream

Take the last half of the ice cream sections and spread evenly

Repeat the broken cookie layer, adding the rest of the coconut

Cover with aluminum foil and place in the freezer for 4 hours

Before serving, let ice cream sit out and soften for 10-20 minutes

Run a knife around the edges of the pan and release the springform. Freeze all leftovers

My Opinion: Hands down the BEST dessert I have ever made! Tastes just like the cookie, maybe even better. The flavors blend so well and have that nice chocolatey cookie crust. So delicious and will definitely be making it again!

EAT UP! NOMNOM!
