Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp milk (if needed)
- 1 1/2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 1/2 quarts chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, softened
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer cookies or graham crackers, crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Whipped cream
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough Layer: In a bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the flour and salt, mixing until well combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. If the dough is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk to adjust the texture. Set aside.
- Prepare the Crust: In another bowl, mix the crushed chocolate wafer cookies or graham crackers with the melted butter until fully coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
- Assemble the Cake: Spread a layer of softened vanilla ice cream over the chilled crust. Then, add a layer of the prepared cookie dough, smoothing it out. Next, top with the softened chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, spreading it evenly. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
- Top with Whipped Cream and Mini Chocolate Chips: Once the cake has set, remove it from the freezer. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve this indulgent ice cream cake for a treat everyone will love!
Notes
For best results, ensure ice creams are softened just enough to spread easily, but not too melted. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to a week.
