LOL! In my attempt to be "wordless" I made things quite confusing! She planned a menu of items for the day that included a Chips Ahoy and yogurt pie, home made pizza, watermelon pops (watermelon cut into shapes with cookie cutters, put on popsicle sticks, and then frozen) and fruit skewers. She loves your idea of a Chips-Ahoy and yogurt pizza, though! Maybe tomorrow? 8-)
Ruby--we kind of made the recipe up based on this one http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/easy-ice-cream-pie-683904/ My daughter doesn't like any of the ingredients in that recipe, so she brainstormed how to make it full of Chips-Ahoy (in both the crunchy original style and the chewy!)
Our pie crust: 20 original (crunchy) Chips-Ahoy, crumbled in a food processor (but you could just smash them by hand in a bag) mixed with 1.5 tbsp of melted butter. Press the crumb/melted butter mixture into a 9" pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Let it cool completely before adding the filling. **We learned the hard way--if the crust is still warm it melts the filling. Then when you freeze the pie the frozen filling gets icy and doesn't taste as good :(
Filling: My daughter got an ice cream maker for her birthday and we used that to make vanilla frozen yogurt mixed with chocolate chips for the filling. You could buy pre-packaged frozen yogurt or ice cream and just let it melt enough to be spreadable! Spread the filling on the cooled cookie crumb crust.
Topping: We crumbled Chewy Chips-Ahoy on top. According to my daughter, you can never have too many Chips-Ahoy :)
Cover with cling wrap and put in the freezer for 1-2 hours minimum to let the ingredients freeze/set and then enjoy!
Please explain! It looks yummy. Is it a Chips-Ahoy and yogurt pizza? Or are these two separate recipes? *LOL* I might combine the two. : D
