BIG news, peeps….BIG. Pillsbury now makes GLUTEN FREE PREMADE COOKIE DOUGH!!! (And gluten free pizza dough and pie crust, by the way. Umm…WOOHOO!) Ack!! BIG news for the gluten free folks, am I right? I mean, I know how much joy it brings me to eat raw cookie jar straight from a tub, and I also know that if I ever had to give up gluten I’d go nuts. (And probably starve.) But gluten free premade cookie dough….well, that may just save me from starving if I had to go GF. 😉 Hee hee.
When I found out that I would have the opportunity to try this gluten free cookie dough I was very curious. I am not at all gluten free and have no intention of becoming so. I love gluten so very much. SO very much. But, even I will admit, this gluten free treat that I concocted was quite tasty indeed. My 4 year old and I shared it and downed it in about two seconds flat. And I have a fun little recipe for you today: a Colorful Magic Shell Recipe! But that will wait for a minute. First let’s take a look at the Sweetheart Pizzookie, shall we?
To make your sweetheart this sweet, gluten-free treat (which could obviously be adapted to include gluten if you prefer that) you will need the following:
* Pillsbury Gluten-Free Cookie Dough or any other cookie dough that you love
* Vanilla Ice Cream (make sure you grab one labeled as gluten free)
* Colorful Magic Shell (recipe below)
* Cupcake Gem sprinkles (The ingredients look gluten free but I can’t make promises.)
* Red Dot Paper Heart Bakers from World Market
Start by scooping the cookie dough of your choice into a little heart baker and press it down. Bake as directed on the tub.
While the cookie is baking you should make your magic shell. There are a million recipes for magic shell on the internet, but they are all made with brown chocolate, and I wanted festive PINK magic shell. Enter white chocolate options. If you like the taste of white chocolate you can use those, but not everyone does, so feel free to use vanilla almond bark. Just check to be sure it’s gluten free. First gather the ingredients: vanilla almond bark or white chocolate chips, canola or vegetable oil, and food coloring.
Start by melting the vanilla bark or white chocolate chips.
Add the oil and mix it well.
Add pink food coloring and stir well.
Take the cookie out of the oven.
Top it with (gluten free if that’s your jam) vanilla ice cream and drizzle the colorful magic shell over the top of the ice cream. Add the sprinkles right away so that it will stick to the magic shell before it hardens.
All done! Eat up—yum yum yum! And if you are looking for other recipes using the Pillsbury Gluten Free cookie dough then check out this recipe board on Pinterest: Cat Cora Gluten Free Recipes. You are going to be blown away by these ideas—I promise!
Now let me give you the full deets on my Colorful Magic Shell Recipe.
- 1 cup vanilla almond bark or white chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- food coloring
- Cupcake Gems (or sprinkles)
- Melt the vanilla bark or white chocolate chips in the microwave. Following the instructions on the vanilla bark (microwave for 1 minute, then stir, 30 more second, then stir, repeat until the bark or chocolate is smooth).
- Add the vegetable or canola oil and stir.
- Add the food coloring and stir.
- Drizzle over the top of your ice cream.
Happy cooking!!

I have been eating glutenfree for a few months now and it seems that my body is much happier without the gluten. I am not coeliac, but this is working for me! The glutenfree options in the supermarkets are very limited so I have been experimenting a bit with recipes. For those who like another recipe, please use the link below. It is also lactose free, which i do really need! I just changed the flour for gluten free flower in the recipe and left out the muesli. Also substitute the yoghurt for soy yoghurt. I put in little pieces of dried abricots and chopped up nuts. Yum! I always make half a batch. Actually a batch is in the oven right now for tonights celebrations!!! Yeah!

Please ignore the flower… No flowers is my cookies, just flour! 🙂
This looks so amazing. I love that it is gluten free too which helps so many people still be able to enjoy sweets.
I think I’m gonna try it with coconut oil!
That’s what most people use! I just didn’t have it on hand and wanted to make it during naptime. 🙂
where can i purchase the heart pans?
World Market. 🙂
What a perfect treat for my gluten free friends. Although they may not thank me, because this looks so good, I doubt anyone could stay away from it for long. We have gluten free readers who would be very interested in this.
We would love to have you join us at our weekly Super Saturday Link Party. It goes live tonight at 7 MST at http://www.madefrompinterest.net. It would be our honor to have you share your great work with us!
OH MY YUMMY!!!!! I seriously could eat this in ONE sitting 🙂 We are a GF family and I have some Kiddos that would LOVE this as well. Thanks for sharing it with us!!!
TOTALLY pinning this!

Okay so I had no idea you could make your own magic shell. This is officially most favortist post ever! Really! That stuff is like $5 a jar! I’m so excited to try this out. Thanks for sharing it. Your pictures are also fabulous.
Thank you!!! If you want chocolate magic shell just use regular chocolate chips instead of the vanilla bark
