Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 batch chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 quart (946 ml) vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup (75 g) chocolate chips
Garnish and Optional Toppings:
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Create a sturdy base by firmly compressing half of the prepared chocolate chip cookie dough into the base of a springform pan, ensuring an even and compact foundation. Allow the crust to set and solidify in the freezer for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Extract the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly. Gently spread the creamy ice cream in a smooth, uniform layer over the chilled cookie dough crust, taking care to cover the entire surface without disturbing the base.
- Return the layered dessert to the freezer and allow the ice cream to firm up completely, which typically requires 30-45 minutes of undisturbed freezing time.
- Crumble the remaining chocolate chip cookie dough into rustic, bite-sized pieces. Delicately scatter these fragmented dough pieces across the now-solid ice cream layer, creating an appealing and textural topping.
- Place the assembled cake back into the freezer and let it thoroughly set and integrate for 2-3 hours, ensuring all layers bond together and reach an optimal serving consistency.
- When ready to serve, optionally embellish the cake with billowy whipped cream and a sprinkle of additional chocolate chips for enhanced visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- To slice, use a knife warmed under hot water and wiped clean between each cut to ensure neat, precise servings of this decadent frozen dessert.
Notes
- Chill your springform pan before starting to help the cookie dough layer set faster and more evenly.
- Use room temperature cookie dough for easier spreading and a smoother crust texture.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular cookie dough with a gluten-free alternative made from almond or oat flour.
- Create a vegan option by using dairy-free ice cream and plant-based cookie dough to accommodate different dietary needs.
