I always try a recipe exactly as it is written the first time I make it. I intend to try it in the future with first the chocolate cookie dough crust and then I would like to try this filling on the gingerbread cookie dough crust. The lovely thing about Pillsbury is that they offer such a vast variety of cookie dough to work with the only thing preventing you creating something exciting and delicious is your own imagination.
