Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake
Introduction: Combine the creamy, indulgent flavors of ice cream with the chewy goodness of cookie dough for this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake. Perfect for summer parties or any occasion that calls for a refreshing yet rich dessert!
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of chocolate chip cookie dough (pre-made or homemade)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream, softened
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Chocolate chip cookies, for garnish
Directions:
- Prepare the Cookie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the cookie dough into the bottom of a springform pan to create a thick crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
- Layer Vanilla Ice Cream: Once the cookie crust has cooled, spread a layer of softened vanilla ice cream over it. Sprinkle half of the mini chocolate chips on top, then freeze for 1 hour.
- Layer Chocolate Ice Cream: Remove the cake from the freezer and spread a layer of softened chocolate ice cream on top of the vanilla layer. Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips over the top, then freeze for another 1 hour.
- Add Fudge Sauce: Drizzle the chocolate fudge sauce over the top layer, then freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, remove the cake from the springform pan. Top it with whipped cream and chocolate chip cookies for garnish. Slice and serve immediately.
Tips for Success:
- Soften Ice Cream Properly: Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes for easier spreading.
- Even Layers: Use a spatula to smooth each layer evenly for a professional look.
- Firm Freezing: Ensure each layer is firm before adding the next to avoid mixing.
