Scale
Main Ingredients:
Flour and Sugars:
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
Cookie and Ice Cream Base:
- 2 cups crushed chocolate chip cookies
- 1.5 quarts (1.42 liters) vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1.5 quarts (1.42 liters) chocolate chip ice cream, softened
Fats and Liquids:
- 0.5 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate and Extras:
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate sauce
- Extra cookie dough balls (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a robust foundation by pulverizing chocolate chip cookies and blending with melted butter, pressing the crumbly mixture firmly into a springform pan’s base. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to solidify the crust.
- Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and airy, incorporating vanilla and milk. Gently fold in heat-treated flour and miniature chocolate chips, creating a smooth cookie dough mixture that will serve as a delectable layer.
- Carefully spread softened vanilla ice cream across the chilled crust, ensuring an even distribution. Return to the freezer for 30 minutes until completely set and firm.
- Delicately arrange the prepared cookie dough as a distinct layer over the vanilla ice cream, followed by an additional layer of softened chocolate chip ice cream. Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow complete solidification.
- Prior to serving, carefully release the cake from the springform pan, revealing its stunning layers. Embellish with pillowy whipped cream, drizzle rich chocolate sauce, and garnish with additional cookie dough balls for an indulgent presentation.
- Cut into elegant slices and savor the harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Ensure cookie crumbs are finely crushed for a compact, stable crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Heat-treat flour by microwaving or baking to eliminate potential bacteria, making the raw cookie dough safer to consume.
- Soften ice cream just enough to spread easily without melting completely, maintaining its creamy texture and structure.
- Freeze each layer thoroughly to prevent mixing and create distinct, beautiful layers when cutting the cake.
