Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Spread the cookie dough batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cooling completely.
- Once cooled, layer softened vanilla ice cream on top of the cookie cake and freeze for 30 minutes. Follow with a layer of softened chocolate ice cream and freeze again for another 30 minutes.
- For the ganache, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Allow ganache to cool slightly before pouring over the top layer of chocolate ice cream.
- Freeze the entire cake for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.
