giant cookies and cream pie
- 250g cream cheese, chopped
- 2 cups (480g) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cups (110g) icing (confectioner’s) sugar, sifted
- 2 cups (500ml) single (pouring) cream
- 600g chocolate cream-filled biscuits
- chocolate sprinkles, to decorate
biscuit base
- 600g chocolate cream-filled biscuits
- 200g unsalted butter, melted
- To make the biscuit base, place the biscuits in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the butter and process until combined. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture into the base and sides of a lightly greased 24cm loose-bottomed and deep-fluted tart tin. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
- Place the cream cheese in a food processor and process for 1 minute or until softened. Add the sour cream, vanilla and sugar and process, scraping down the sides of the bowl, for 1–2 minutes or until thickened. Place the mixture in a large bowl and whisk in the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Spread 1½ cups of the cream mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Top with a layer of biscuits and spread with 1 cup cream mixture. Repeat with the remaining biscuits and cream mixture to create 2 more layers, pressing down after each layer and finishing with a layer of the cream mixture.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. Remove the pie carefully from the tin and top with chocolate sprinkles to serve. Serves 10–12.
