MI-DEL

Chatfield’s® offers dairy free alternative chocolate chips as well as carob chips if you’re sensitive or allergic to caffeine. Use  Chatfield’s® allergen friendly chips in place of regular chocolate chips whenever you have a recipe that calls for them. Over the holidays, I created a recipe for Candy Cane Cookie Ice Cream Pie  which I topped off with candy canes and  MI-DEL® chocolate sandwich cookies. As you can see above, Chatfield’s® makes a host of different varieties of allergen free chocolate chips as well as carob chips, powders, bars, and date sugar that are perfect for all of your allergen friendly baking needs!

Soften 1 pint of chocolate ice cream and 1 pint of vanilla ice cream by sitting them on the counter for 20 minutes (brands vary in the hardness of their ice cream. It needs to be soft enough to spread around in the crust but not completely melted).

Pour the filling into the MI-DEL® crust. Bake for 45 minutes, until filling is firm and golden in color. Cool cheesecake completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

Here’s a good plan: Layer the ice cream, watch an episode of your current favorite show, top it off with the whipped cream and binge for another two hours while the pie freezes. After that, it should be all frozen and ready to devour and you’ll be ready to binge the rest of that bake-off season you’ve been wanting to watch (except this time it’s better because pie). MI-DEL® makes it super easy and convenient to make this amazing gluten and dairy free holiday dessert with their incomparable pre-made gluten free chocolate snap crust as well as their chocolate sandwich cookies. The crushed MI-DEL® chocolate sandwich cookies mixed with my microwave hot fudge make the perfect crunchy but gooey chocolate center in this candy cane cookie pie and will leave everyone asking for another slice!
