Ingredients

Chocolate Cookie Crust

  • Chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed into fine crumbs) – 2 cups
  • Melted butter – 6 tablespoons

Ice Cream Layer

  • Vanilla ice cream (softened) – 2 cups
  • Chocolate ice cream (softened) – 2 cups
  • Chocolate chip cookie dough (cut into chunks) – 1 cup
  • M&M’s candies – 1/2 cup + extra for topping

Topping

  • Whipped cream or frosting – 1 cup
  • Additional cookie dough chunks (for garnish) – 1/4 cup
  • Additional M&M’s candies (for garnish) – 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crust: Start by crushing chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs, then mix thoroughly with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or any cake pan lined with parchment paper to form an even, sturdy base.
  2. Add the Ice Cream Layer: Allow the vanilla and chocolate ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for easy mixing. Blend the softened ice creams with cookie dough chunks and a handful of M&M’s. Spread this mixture evenly over the prepared cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
  3. Freeze to Set: Place the assembled cake in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to ensure it firms up completely and holds its shape well.
  4. Top with Whipped Cream and Extra M&M’s: Once the ice cream layer is solid, spread a generous layer of whipped cream or frosting evenly on top. Finish by sprinkling additional M&M’s and cookie dough chunks over the whipped cream for a festive and colorful presentation.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to slice. Use a sharp knife, warmed and wiped dry between cuts, to slice cleanly and serve.

Notes

  • Allow the ice cream to soften just enough for mixing but avoid melting to maintain texture.
  • Press the cookie crust firmly to ensure it stays intact when slicing the cake.
  • Use high-quality ice cream and cookie dough to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Freeze the cake thoroughly before slicing to prevent melting and mess.
  • Dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry before cutting each slice for clean edges.
