Cookie Dough Lovers Ice Cream Pie - Food Today
I certainly hope you like chocolate chip cookie dough. And cookie dough ice cream.
Because there is a whole lotta cookie dough happenin’ today!
You know when you’re eating chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and it’s really just vanilla ice cream with 2 chunks of cookie dough? What a let down! Where is all the cookie dough?!
Well I decided to change all that today. Cookie dough lovers , meet your new best friend. She’s melty , chocolate-y , creamy , and oh-so-doughy! Each bite is full of cookie dough – 2-3 cookie dough chunks per bite! Yep , I counted. This ice cream pie is to die for!
So I have got to tell you something.
Have you read or seen ‘Divergent’ yet? I am completely addicted!
I saw the movie the weekend it came out and again the following weekend. Then I decided to read the books.
Normally when I read books first , I’m disappointed with the movie. I’m kind of glad I saw the movie first because that disappointment wasn’t there. Plus , Theo James now is who I picture when I read about Four/Tobias and that ain’t so bad.
What has been bad is that I cannot. stop. reading. I have barely done any baking this week (or anything else for that matter) because all I want to do is come home and read. I’ve been dying to know how it ends so I keep going. I have so much I need to get done.
