Whopper Ball Pie

Last year we started a tradition that we would make an ice-cream type dessert every Father's Day. This year I found a recipe that uses lots of whopper balls and adapted it to my liking. Ricky always tells the boys they have whopper ball toes and tickles them. The boys always give him whopper balls for his birthday, Christmas, and Father's Day. The dessert was awesome! There aren't any pictures because it was gone so fast. We will definitely make this again. It is great for entertaining.

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) double chocolate chunk cookie mix (Betty Crocker makes this kind)
2/3 cup chocolate-flavor malted milk powder (I found this in the coffee/tea/cocoa section of the grocery store and Ovaltine was the only brand I could find)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1 egg
1/2 cup hot fudge topping
1 (5 oz) box whopper balls, crushed
2 cups vanilla bean ice cream, softened
2 cups chocolate ice cream, softened
1 (8 oz) containter frozen whipped topping, thawed





  1. Heat oven to 350. Spray 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray.


  2. In a large bowl, stir cookie mix, 1/3 cup of the chocolate malt powder, oil, water and egg until soft dough forms. Press 1/2 of dough into bottom of pan. Bake 12 minutes or until set. Cool competely (about 30 minutes).


  3. Meanwhile, press remaining cookie dough into 10-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake dough 12-13 minutes or until set. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool 15 minutes.


  4. Spread hot fudge topping over crust in springform pan.


  5. In a medium bowl, break apart large cookie until crumbly. Stir in crushed whopper balls. Sprinkle 1/2 of the whopper mixture over hot fudge. Press lightly.


  6. In large bowl, combine both softened ice creams and remaining 1/3 cup chocolate malt powder until well blended. Spread ice cream over fudge in pan.


  7. Spread whipped topping over ice cream.


  8. Sprinkle with remaining whopper mixture. Cover with foil. Freeze at least 5 hours or until firm. (I made mine the Friday before Father's Day)


  9. To serve, remove sides from springform pan. Let stand 5 minutes. Use hot wet knife to cut into pie slices.
