Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 cup of cherry pie filling
- 1 cup of chocolate chunks
- 1 pint of vanilla ice cream
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Cookie Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the refrigerated sugar cookie dough and press it evenly onto a greased pizza pan or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to spread the dough out to form a thin and even crust.
Step 2: Baking the Cookie Crust
Place the pizza pan or baking sheet with the cookie crust in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
Step 3: Adding the Cherry Filling
Once the cookie crust has cooled, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges for the crust.
Step 4: Topping with Chocolate Chunks
Sprinkle the chocolate chunks over the cherry filling, ensuring that they are evenly distributed. You can use as much or as little chocolate as you prefer, depending on your taste.
Step 5: Adding the Ice Cream
Take the pint of vanilla ice cream and allow it to soften slightly at room temperature. Once softened, scoop generous dollops of ice cream onto the pizza, spreading it out evenly over the cherry filling and chocolate chunks.
Step 6: Serving the Dessert Pizza
Once the pizza is assembled, you can serve it immediately. Alternatively, you can place it in the freezer for a short while to allow the ice cream to firm up slightly before serving. This will make it easier to slice and enjoy.
Cherry Garcia Dessert Pizza is a delightful and unique dessert that is sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of the sweet cherry filling, rich chocolate chunks, and creamy vanilla ice cream on a crispy cookie crust creates a heavenly flavor experience. Whether you serve it at a party or enjoy it as a special treat, this dessert pizza is guaranteed to be a hit!
