Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pre-made chocolate chip cookie crust
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Instructions
- Bake the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the cookie dough into a pie pan and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Add the ice cream layer: Spread softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cooled crust. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set.
- Make the meringue: Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while beating until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble & toast: Spread the meringue over the frozen pie, making peaks with a spatula.
- Broil to perfection: Place under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the meringue is golden brown.
- Serve immediately for the best contrast of textures!
Notes
- Swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate, caramel, or cookies & cream for a fun variation.
- For extra flavor, drizzle with hot fudge or caramel sauce before serving.
- If you don’t have a broiler, use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue.
- Best served fresh but can be frozen (without toasting) for up to 3 days.
