Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
Start by mixing the crushed chocolate chip cookies with the melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined, with the butter evenly coating the cookie crumbs. Then, press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan, making sure it’s compact and evenly distributed. Place the pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes to help the crust firm up.
2. Make the Filling:
While the crust is chilling, it’s time to prepare the creamy filling. In a large bowl, mix the softened vanilla ice cream with the edible cookie dough chunks and chocolate chips. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined. The cookie dough chunks will give the filling a delightful chew, while the chocolate chips will add extra bursts of sweetness throughout.
3. Assemble the Cake:
Once the crust has chilled and firmed up, take it out of the freezer. Spread the ice cream and cookie dough mixture over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Make sure the filling is spread evenly across the entire surface of the crust. Place the cake back into the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set.
4. Add the Topping:
Before serving, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Top the cake with a layer of whipped topping, spreading it evenly over the frozen ice cream mixture. Drizzle with chocolate sauce for a decadent finish and garnish with extra pieces of cookie dough for a fun and indulgent touch.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully slice the cake and serve. Each bite is a delicious combination of creamy, cold ice cream, chewy cookie dough, and a crunchy cookie crust. The topping of whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and extra cookie dough pieces makes every slice even more irresistible.
