Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake

Ingredients

• 12 ounces Cappello’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, crumbled into small pieces

• 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream

• 1.5 quarts chocolate ice cream

• For the Chocolate Fudge:

• 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

• ½ cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature

• For the Whipped Cream:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold

• ⅓ cup powdered sugar

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles, for finishing

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9-inch springform cake pan with saran wrap. Set aside.

• Remove vanilla ice cream from the freezer. Let sit for 15 minutes.

• While ice cream is sitting, bake the cookie dough:

• Place cookie dough crumbles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven and bake until edges are golden, 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

• Evenly spread vanilla ice cream along the base of the cake pan. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

• While ice cream is freezing, make the fudge:

• To a medium heat-proof mixing bowl, add chocolate, honey, vanilla, and salt. Set aside.

• To a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, add whipping cream. Bring just to a simmer then pour over the chocolate. Let sit, undisturbed for 3 minutes. Then whisk until smooth and glossy. Let sit until fudge reaches room temperature, then pour it over the vanilla ice cream layer.

• Add ¾ of the cookie crumbles on top of the fudge layer. Place in the freezer until firm, 1-2 hours.

• Let the chocolate ice cream sit out for 15 minutes. Evenly spread over the fudge layer and place back into the freezer until firm, about 1 hour.

• When ready to serve, make the whipped cream:

• To a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add all ingredients. Whip on high until stiff peaks form then use a spatula to frost the cake. Decorate the top with the remaining baked cookie dough pieces.
