Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake is a fun cross between chocolate chip cookies and ice cream, and it’s the perfect treat for summer!

Cookie:
¾ cup salted butter, room temperature
¾ cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
1 egg
1½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached
1 tsp. baking soda
1¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Assembly:
1.5 quarts cookie dough ice cream
4 oz whipped cream
chocolate chips cookies, chopped
chocolate sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the the bottom of a 9" springform pan with parchment paper.

Cookie:
Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour and baking soda and mix until completely combined. Dough will be thick. Stir in chocolate chips. Press the dough into an even layer in the bottom of the cake pan.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.

Remove from oven and allow to cool mostly in the cake pan, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

Assembly:
While cookie finishes cooling, take ice cream out of freezer and allow it to soften.

Place cooled cookie back into springform pan. Top cookie with ice cream and spread into an even layer. Place in freezer to freeze completely.

Once frozen, remove cake from springform pan. Pipe edges with whipped cream. Fill in the top of the cake with chopped chocolate chips cookies and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Freeze until ready to serve. Thaw for about 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 12-14 slices.
