Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake

Creamy, cookie-filled, chocolate-drizzled frozen perfection!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups edible chocolate chip cookie dough (egg-free, with heat-treated flour)

  • 1½ quarts vanilla ice cream, softened

  • ½ cup chocolate syrup or fudge sauce

  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips

  • ¼ cup butter, melted (for crust binding)

  • Pinch of salt

  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the pan

  • Line a springform or cake pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

2. Make the crust

  • In a bowl, mix 2/3 of the cookie dough with melted butter and salt.

  • Press evenly into the bottom of the pan.

  • Freeze for 10–15 minutes.

3. Soften ice cream

  • Let vanilla ice cream sit out for ~10 minutes until spreadable.

4. First layer

  • Spread half of the softened ice cream over the chilled crust.

  • Crumble some of the remaining cookie dough on top.

  • Drizzle with chocolate syrup.

5. Second layer

  • Spread the remaining ice cream on top.

  • Drizzle more chocolate syrup and sprinkle mini chocolate chips.

6. Freeze

  • Freeze for 4–6 hours (overnight is best) until fully set.

7. Serve

  • Remove from freezer 5–10 minutes before slicing.

  • Garnish with whipped cream, extra drizzle, and cookie dough bites if desired.

Notes & Tips

  • Use store-bought or homemade edible cookie dough (no raw eggs or untreated flour).

  • Lining the pan with parchment makes it much easier to slice and remove.

  • Try swapping in chocolate ice cream, peanut butter ice cream, or brownie batter ice cream for flavor twists.
