Cookie Dough Ice Cream Cake

Nothing takes me back to my childhood like Cookie Dough ice cream. Ever since I was a kid I loved it. Those yummy bits of cookie deliciousness. Mmmm. My mother used to make her own ice cream cakes. They were always super tasty and so beyond easy to make. I was thinking about making an ice cream cake with cookie dough ice cream and all of a sudden it hit me. 

Why don't I make an ice cream cake layered with real cookie dough?!

Then this cake was born. Well made. You get the idea. 

So yeah, someone might have eaten a piece before I could take a picture. Oops. 

What you will need: 

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3 1/2 tablespoons of milk

1 1/2 cup self rising flour (this is all I had on hand at the time!)

1/2 cup of chocolate chips 

Container of vanilla ice cream (or whatever flavor you like!) softened

How we make the magic happen:

Melt down your butter and sugar together. You can do this with the wonderful convenience of a microwave, or on top of your stove. Either way just make sure you stir them until everything is smooth. 

Stir in your milk then add flour. Mix that stuff until it's nicely mixed together. Put in your chocolate chips and throw this all into your fridge for about 30 minutes. 

Now lets get an 8X8 pan out here and start coating that pan with that cookie dough yummy-ness. Take a little bit and just coat the pan. Think of the cookie dough being the "crust" of your ice cream cake. Now take your softened ice cream and layer it on top of that cookie dough. Then throw it into your freezer for just a few minutes to get it firm again. Repeat the process layering it until you run out of ingredients. I got 4 layers. (2 cookie dough, 2 ice cream) but I also did the cookie dough really thick. 

Put it back in the freezer for a few hours to freeze and bam you have a really yummy ice cream cake just waiting to be eaten. You can drizzle some chocolate on top if you want as well. Ooooo or caramel. Yum. 

Thanks for looking everyone I hope you enjoy!
