And the BIG winner is...

*Drum Roll please*

And so, after much prayer, fasting, meditation, counseling... yeah, whatever. So I would like to thank everyone who participated, first off. I appreciate the hours of time and mountains of talent that went into this competition, I am quite pleased with the turnout and I hope that you enjoyed stretching the scopes of your creative horizons. And so, with no further ado, I reveal my new pie's name!







Once again, a big thank you to all who participated, Lindsay Hymas, you will soon receive your complimentary can of Sweetened Condensed Milk. It's been fun everyone! And good night!

We're Gonna Have a Little Competition...


So, about a year ago, I invented a pie.

I'm not sure exactly why I invented a pie, but I did. I believe my inspiration stemmed from my companion's talk of making caramel from sweetened condensed milk. Anyways, it has turned out to be a hit (that is, unless my dear friends and family are lying!) but, the only name I have called it by is "Cookie Pie." Lame. I'm not at all a fan of the name "Cookie Pie," so I have decided that I will put it to my readers! Ok, so chances are, there are something like three of you, but here's the rules.

If you happen to read this,
1) Please sit for a moment and think of a kick-Awesome name.
2) Post it as a comment!

And that's pretty much it. After a goodly list has been compiled (I'm hoping for a MINIMUM of like 5) I'll pick one off the list and my beautiful little calorie-intensive creation will be forever known by that name, a legacy to be handed down by my children and my children's childen (and if you copy it down, you and yours!) So... yeah. Here's what's in it:

1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. (Store-bought or home-made)

An' that's it.
Let me note that this is a fairly variable recipe, and I'm still experimenting with it, but here's a basic outline.

Line a greased pie-pan with a thin layer of cookie dough and place in the oven at 350 for 5-6 min.

Slowly begin heating the condensed milk in a saucepan, eventually bringing it to a boil, careful not to burn it! Add some cookie dough to that. Let it boil for a while, stirring constantly, until it comes to a good consistency. You don't want it too soupy or too hard.

Pour it into your cookie pie crust and line the top with cookie-dough completely covering it.

Broil it on High until the top has turned a beautiful golden crispiness (WATCH IT THE WHOLE TIME) and let it cool.

Serve in a bowl with ice cream and hot fudge and you're done!


So now you know what's in it and how it's made, if you would PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come up with a name, and we'll get the creative juices flowing! Depending on the number of responses, I'd like to pick a name around New Years.

THANK YOU!!!

PS- At the recommendation of my sister, the first place winner will receive a complimentary can of Sweetened Condensed Milk from ME! (Provided I get a valid address) So put on your thinking caps!

PPS- I'm gonna hold off on naming a winner until I have one more name! I don't think four is too too much to ask! :)
