Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.

Freeze for 10 minutes.

2. Make the Edible Cookie Dough

In a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add milk and vanilla; mix well.

Gradually add flour and mix until smooth.

Fold in mini chocolate chips.

Set aside.

3. Assemble the Cake

Spread half of the vanilla ice cream over the crust.

Crumble half of the cookie dough over the ice cream. Freeze 1 hour.

Spread all of the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream over the cookie dough layer.

Add remaining cookie dough in chunks. Freeze 1 hour.

Spread remaining vanilla ice cream over the top. Freeze 4–6 hours or overnight.

4. Make the Ganache

Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.

Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl.

5. Finish the Cake

Remove cake from the springform pan.

Pour ganache over the top and spread evenly.

Freeze for an additional 30 minutes to set the ganache.
