Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
- 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream (softened)
- 1.5 quarts chocolate ice cream (softened)
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache or fudge sauce
Instructions
- Line the base and sides of a springform pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla. Add heat-treated flour, salt, and fold in mini chocolate chips to form edible cookie dough.
- Press half the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan, creating an even crust. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Spread softened vanilla ice cream over the crust. Freeze until firm. Add remaining cookie dough (flatten into discs first) on top, followed by chocolate ice cream. Smooth the top.
- Freeze the assembled cake for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until solid.
- Remove from pan, drizzle with ganache or fudge sauce, and garnish with extra cookie dough bites and mini chips.
- Let sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Use a hot knife for clean cuts.
Notes
- Always use heat-treated flour for food safety.
- Allow ice cream to soften before layering for smooth spreading.
- Decorate just before serving to maintain a fresh look.
- Use a warm knife for clean slices.
