Description
A delightful dessert that combines the flavors of cookie dough and ice cream, creating an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chip cookies (about 20 cookies), crushed
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Ice Cream Layers:
- 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1.5 quarts chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, softened
For the Cookie Dough Chunks:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie crust by combining the crushed chocolate chip cookies with the melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Freeze for about 10 minutes to set.
- Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften for about 10-15 minutes. Once softened, spread the vanilla ice cream over the cookie crust, smoothing it into an even layer. Freeze for 30-45 minutes, or until firm.
- While the vanilla layer is freezing, make the cookie dough chunks. In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and softened butter. Mix until the dough is crumbly but holds together. Stir in mini chocolate chips if desired. Set aside in the fridge.
- Once the vanilla layer is firm, spread the softened chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream on top. Smooth it out and freeze for another 30-45 minutes until firm.
- Once the ice cream layers are set, sprinkle the cookie dough chunks over the top of the cake, pressing some of them lightly into the ice cream.
- Freeze the entire cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to fully set.
Notes
- Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Garnish with extra cookie crumbles or a chocolate drizzle if desired.
- Store the cake in the freezer for up to a week, covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh.
