Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream (Printable Version)

Chocolate cookie crust and ice cream layered with cookie dough and chocolate chips for a chilled delight.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cookie Crust

01 - 240 g chocolate cookie crumbs
02 - 85 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Ice Cream Filling

03 - 1.4 litres vanilla or cookie dough ice cream, softened
04 - 175 g mini chocolate chips
05 - 200 g edible cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)

→ Topping & Decoration

06 - Extra cookie dough balls, for garnish (optional)
07 - Mini and regular chocolate chips, for garnish
08 - Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

# Steps To Follow:

01 - Combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter in a bowl and mix until the texture becomes uniform. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes to set the base.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, fold together the softened ice cream, mini chocolate chips, and pieces of edible cookie dough until evenly distributed.
03 - Spread the ice cream mixture onto the frozen crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer. Return to the freezer and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully solid.
04 - Once the cake is frozen solid, carefully remove it from the springform pan and place on a serving platter or cake stand. Garnish the top with additional scoops of ice cream, assorted chocolate chips, and cookie dough balls as desired.
05 - If desired, drizzle the cake with melted chocolate or add whipped cream just before serving.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - For clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry for each cut.
