Extreme Salted Caramel Cheesecake Stuffed Cookie Pie – Cookie Pie Week

Today marks the end of Cookie Pie Week. I know, I’m sad too. Though I think I have enough pieces of cookie pie in my freezer to last me the next month week. To see where this week began, check out my Salted Caramel Cookie Pie and make sure you see my last post – Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Cookie Pie.

Because this is the end of said cookie pie week, I thought I would go completely over the top with this next recipe. I call it, the Extreme Salted Caramel Cheesecake Stuffed Cookie Pie….. This pie consists of a chocolate cookie base that is then topped with a salted caramel, dream cheesecake that is then finished off with a chocolate chip cookie top. Extreme.

This pie combines the chocolate chip cookie and salted caramel elements from the first cookie pie this week and the chocolate cookie and cheesecake elements from the previous post. In other words this pie is a hybrid. A delicious, over-the-top, ooey gooey, give-me-more hybrid of a cookie pie. Again, I use the word EXTREME.

I don’t usually play favourites with my food but if I had to choose – gun to my head – I would probably choose this as my favourite cookie pie. (Shhh, don’t tell the others….)

There are a lot of elements to this pie but the assembly is a breeze. First, make the two cookie dough’s. What order you make these is completely up to you but I usually make the chocolate chip cookie dough first as you then only have to rinse the utensils for the chocolate cookie dough rather than having to completely clean them of any cocoa powder. Same utensils=less dishes.

Set the dough’s aside and make the salted caramel. While the caramel is boiling away, I start on the cheesecake. Once the cheesecake ingredients are all whizzed together the salted caramel will be ready to pour into the cheesecake mixture. Set that aside and you now have all your elements to assemble the pie!

First, spread the chocolate cookie dough in an even layer in the base of a cake tin. Ensure you spread the dough at least an inch up the sides of the pan. Pour in the dreamy, salted caramel cheesecake and then top with the chocolate chip cookie dough. Now a little patience is needed. After removing the cookie pie from the oven, let it set in the fridge for 2 hours. If you don’t want the cheesecake to run, allow it to set for at least 4. Unfortunately for me, patience is not a virtue I possess when it come to food so I barely let it set for 10 minutes….

P.S. If you are like me and have little patience when it comes to your stomach, it tastes just as delicious straight out of the oven with a spoon. Messy. But oh so good.
