Indulge in the ultimate dessert with this decadent cookie dough pie, featuring a soft, chewy crust stuffed with creamy chocolate hazelnut spread and Kinder bars. It's a show-stopping treat that's perfect for parties or a special family indulgence.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and light brown muscovado sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add one whole egg and one egg yolk (reserve the remaining egg white for another use). Pour in the vanilla extract and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda, then add a pinch of salt and the milk chocolate chips. Mix with a spatula until a stiff dough forms. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add a small splash of milk to help it come together. Divide the dough into two portions: one representing two-thirds of the mixture and the other one-third. Shape both into 2cm-thick discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger disc of dough into a 23cm circle. Carefully place the dough into a 20cm springform cake tin. Use your fingers to press the dough firmly into the base and approximately 3cm up the sides of the tin.
Soften the chocolate hazelnut spread by stirring it with a spoon, then fold in the white chocolate chips. Spread about three-quarters of this mixture over the cookie dough base. Press the Kinder Mini chocolate bars deeply into the spread, then use a small spatula to level the remaining chocolate mixture over the bars. The cookie dough sides should still rise about 1cm above the filling. Chill for 20 minutes to firm up.
Roll the remaining smaller disc of dough into a 19cm circle. Place it on top of the filling, fitting it inside the cookie dough rim. Use your fingers to smooth and seal the edges, completely enclosing the chocolate center. Chill the assembled pie for at least 1 hour before baking.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Place the cake tin on a baking tray and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil. Allow the pie to cool completely to room temperature in the tin before removing the ring. For the best texture, chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.
To get perfectly clean slices, ensure the pie is thoroughly chilled before cutting. If the dough is too sticky to roll, try rolling it between two sheets of parchment paper. You can easily customize the center by swapping Kinder bars for your favorite chocolate treats like Rolo or chopped Snickers.
