FOR THE FROSTING
In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, approximately 2 minutes. Add the sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder mix on low speed then increase to medium speed for about 1 minutes. Add the cream/milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium/high speed and beat for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup more confectioners’ sugar or cocoa powder if frosting is too thin or another Tablespoon of cream if frosting is too thick.
If the frosting is too thin then add 3-4 tablespoons of sifted powdered sugar (or a mix of powdered sugar/cocoa) if too thick then add a tablespoon or more of cream/milk.
Notes
Once completely cooled, you can store this giant cookie at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you still have lots leftover and want to stretch it out a bit longer, transfer it to the fridge for a couple of extra days.To make the pie ahead of time - once the dough is made, rather than pressing it into the pan, wrap it up in a plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days until you’re ready to use it. It can also be kept frozen for up to 3 months, just make sure to thaw it in the fridge before adding it to the dish for baking.
