How to Make Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (like Oreo)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 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
  • 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1.5 quarts chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions:

  1. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs and melted butter, then press this mixture into the bottom of the pan. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  2. For the cookie dough, cream together the room-temperature butter and sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the flour and mix until smooth, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  3. Spread half of the vanilla ice cream over the crust in the pan. Then, add half of the cookie dough mixture in chunks over the ice cream. Freeze this layer for 1 hour.
  4. After an hour, spread the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream over the cookie dough layer. Next, add the remaining cookie dough mixture in chunks on top. Freeze for another hour.
  5. Once the layers are set, spread the remaining vanilla ice cream over the top. Freeze the cake for 4-6 hours or overnight until it is firm.
  6. To create the ganache, heat the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, pour it over the chocolate chips, and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  7. Remove the cake from the springform pan and pour the ganache over the top. Freeze again for another 30 minutes before serving.
