Cookies and Cream Pie

Directions

Prep time: 10 minutes + 3 hours chilling
Cook time: 12 minutes
Total time: 3 hours 25 minutes
Serves: 6–8

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt lard in microwave at medium heat or on stovetop and add to cookie mix in a large bowl. Mix well with a spoon or fingers until evenly moistened.
• Spread the mix on the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Press down until evenly thick and to eliminate any cracks.
• Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
• Use a stand or hand mixer to whip cream until stiff peaks form and hold their shape. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Use the mixer and mixing bowl to whip cream cheese and icing together for 1 minute on high speed.
• Fold in the whipped cream by hand until it’s all incorporated.
• Once the pie crust is fully cooled, use a rubber spatula to add the filling to the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Garnish with sprinkles on top.
• Chill for at least 3 hours in the fridge until completely set, then freeze for 30-60 minutes to make cutting easier.
