Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chip cookies (about 20 cookies), crushed
- 5 tablespoons (75 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Cake Base:
- 1 package vanilla cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Topping and Filling:
- 2 cups chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 container vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Craft the crisp cookie foundation by pulverizing chocolate chip cookies and blending with melted butter. Firmly press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, creating a uniform base. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to solidify.
- Remove vanilla ice cream and allow it to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Carefully spread the creamy layer over the chilled cookie crust, ensuring a smooth, even surface. Return to freezer for 30-45 minutes until completely firm.
- Prepare homemade cookie dough by combining flour, sugars, salt, and softened butter until the mixture becomes crumbly yet cohesive. Fold in mini chocolate chips for extra texture. Refrigerate the dough while waiting for the ice cream layer to set.
- Once the vanilla layer has hardened, gently spread the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream across the surface. Smooth out the layer meticulously and freeze for an additional 30-45 minutes until completely solid.
- Distribute the prepared cookie dough chunks generously over the cake’s surface, gently pressing some pieces into the ice cream layer to ensure they adhere.
- Transfer the assembled cake to the freezer and allow it to set completely for 4-6 hours or preferably overnight. This ensures all layers meld together perfectly.
- Before serving, let the cake rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making slicing easier. Optional: Enhance presentation with additional cookie crumbles or a drizzle of chocolate.
- For optimal preservation, wrap the cake securely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to one week, maintaining its delectable texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure cookie crumbs are finely ground for a compact, stable crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Let ice cream soften just enough to spread easily without becoming too melty, maintaining the cake’s structural integrity.
- Create gluten-free version by using gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and almond flour for the cookie dough chunks.
- Prevent raw flour risks by toasting flour in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes before mixing cookie dough, eliminating potential bacteria.
