8. Pour half the contents of the other bag of mini eggs into the mixture and mix everything together.

9. Place the dough into the cake tin and gently push the dough down so it is even in the cake tin. Cover the cake tin with the foil to prevent burning the top pf the cookie pie.

10. Place the dough in the oven to bake for 30 minutes. Take the foil off for the last 5 minutes to encourage browning.

11. Check the cookie pie is baked by using a skewer and gently jiggle the cake tin. If there is a lot of movement and the top is spongy then allow an extra 5 minutes.

12. Leave the pie to cool completely to which it will also harden.
