Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate chip cookies
- 4 cups Vanilla ice cream (softened)
- 4 cups Chocolate ice cream (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles or chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides and bottom are fully covered.
Step 2
Arrange an even layer of chocolate chip cookies at the bottom of the pan, breaking the cookies if necessary to cover any gaps.
Step 3
Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 4
Add another layer of chocolate chip cookies on top of the vanilla ice cream, again covering any gaps.
Step 5
Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the second cookie layer, smoothing the top. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Step 6
To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not let it boil).
Step 7
Remove the cream from heat and pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Step 8
Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it over the frozen cake, spreading it evenly. Return the cake to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the ganache.
Step 9
Just before serving, carefully release the springform pan and remove the parchment paper. Decorate the top with sprinkles or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Step 10
Slice the cake with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts, and serve immediately.
