Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake
A decadent dessert that layers rich chocolate chip cookie dough, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a crunchy cookie crust, all topped with luscious chocolate ganache.
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cookie Dough:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Ice Cream Layers:
1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
1.5 quarts chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, softened
For the Ganache:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place in the freezer while you prepare the next layers.
Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Set aside.
Layer the Ice Cream: Remove the crust from the freezer. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Next, add the cookie dough mixture in dollops over the vanilla ice cream, gently spreading it out. Finally, layer the softened chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream over the cookie dough layer, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Assemble the Cake: Once the ice cream layers are firm, remove the cake from the freezer and carefully release it from the springform pan. Drizzle the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Serve: Slice the cake and serve immediately. Enjoy this indulgent, layered dessert that combines cookie dough and ice cream in every bite!
