Layers of cookie dough and ice cream topped with chocolate chips and syrup, perfect for any sweet craving.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 2 cups edible chocolate chip cookie dough (egg-free, with heat-treated flour)
02 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 - Pinch of salt
04 - 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened

→ Fillings and Toppings

05 - 1/2 cup chocolate syrup or fudge sauce
06 - 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
07 - Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Line a springform pan or cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang for easy removal.
02 - Combine approximately two-thirds of the cookie dough with the melted butter and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared pan to form a uniform crust.
03 - Place the pan in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up the crust layer.
04 - Allow vanilla ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes until pliable but not melted.
05 - Spread half of the softened ice cream evenly over the chilled crust. Crumble some of the remaining cookie dough on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
06 - Spread the remaining ice cream evenly over the cake. Add additional drizzle of chocolate syrup and sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the surface.
07 - Place the assembled cake in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set.
08 - Remove the cake from the freezer 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with whipped cream, additional chocolate drizzle, and extra cookie dough if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For clean slices, dip a chef’s knife in hot water and wipe dry between each cut.
